Presence Of A Reverse Shock In The Evolution Of A CME In The Lower Solar Corona
Abstract
We study the birth and the evolution of a reverse shock in the evolution of a CME in the lower solar corona. We study the evolution of the CME with Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF). To initiate the CME, we inserted a Titov-Demoulin (TD) flux rope in an active region of the Sun with magnetic field based on the MDI data for the solar surface during Carrington rotation 1922. The CME advances on the top of a background solar wind created with the help of Wang-Sheeley-Arge (WSA) model. We'd explore the signature and characteristics of the reverse shock as the CME evolves through the lower corona. We also discuss it's implications on the acceleration of particles.
