Dynamics of interplanetary CMEs and associated type II bursts
Abstract
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large scale structures of plasma (~1016g) and magnetic field expelled from the solar corona to the interplanetary medium. During their travel in the inner heliosphere, these "interplanetary CMEs" (ICMEs), suffer acceleration due to the interaction with the ambient solar wind. Based on hydrodynamic theory, we have developed an analytical model for the ICME transport which reproduce well the observed deceleration of fast ICMEs. In this work we present the results of the model and its application to the CME observed on May 13, 2005 and the associated interplanetary type II burst.
