The Dynamics of Solar Coronal Magnetic Fields
Abstract
Coronal mass ejection is discussed in terms of its observable hydromagnetic processes to define the dynamics of the coronal magnetic field and thereby extrapolate the findings to other hydromagnetic phenomena. The three important observations in terms of hydromagnetism include the broad range of speeds of the mass ejections, the timing of the eruption of the prominence filaments, and the possibility of slow shocks based on the slow mass ejections. The observation of coronal mass ejection suggests that other hydromagnetic phenomena can be observed and studied using similar techniques.
