Tracking the 3-D Structure of an Erupting Filament With the STEREO/SECCHI EUVI
Abstract
On 2007 May 19, the STEREO/SECCHI EUVI observed an erupting filament that was associated with a CME. The stereoscopic observations in both He II and Fe IX allow a detailed study of the 3-D geometry and dynamics of the filament as it erupts. Deconvolution of the EUVI imagery with the instrument point spread function enhances image contrast and detail, and improves the accuracy of the 3-D analysis. The quantitative results of such an analysis may lead to a better understanding of the early CME process.
