Evidence for Flux Rope Morphology from STEREO Imaging
Abstract
In its five year lifetime, STEREO has observed many CMEs that have an appearance in white light images that can be interpreted as being indicative of a magnetic flux rope. These events include slow CMEs such as ones from 2008 June 1 and 2009 June 22, as well as faster CMEs like the 2008 April 26 and 2010 April 3 events. I will review some of these observations, and discuss the extent to which the flux rope morphology inferred from the images is consistent with the flux rope morphology found from analyses of in situ observations of the CMEs.
