A Survey of Singly Charged Ions within ICMEs
Abstract
Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) observed near Earth sometimes contain remnants of the cold, low charge state filament material present at their eruptions. To determine the prevalence of this material within ICMEs, a survey was conducted using ACE/SWICS data from 1998-2011 on the ions C+ and O+. Events were catalogued based on various criteria, and were compared to a standard list of ICMEs. The results are presented here, along with discussion regarding the implications for formation and evolution of the filamentary material through the heliosphere.
