STEREO Observations of Slow Coronal Mass Ejections
Abstract
We have studied the STEREO/COR1 coronal mass ejection (CME) catalog for the period January-September 2008. Many of the observed CMEs exhibit slow liftoff speeds, commonly taking over 24 hours for the entire CME to exit the COR1 field of view. We will present a detailed overview of these slowly rising CMEs and trace their evolution from the on-disk source region, where possible, through the field of view of both STEREO coronagraphs. This is a first step towards studying the evolution of these CMEs in interplanetary space.
