Tracking The 3-d Structure Of Erupting Filaments With The Stereo/secchi Euvi
Abstract
In May 2007, the STEREO/SECCHI EUVI observed several erupting filaments that were 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 filaments as they erupt. 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 this analysis may potentially lead to a better understanding of the early CME process.
