Abstract: We present the first observations of the initiation of a coronal mass ejection (CME) seen on the disk of the Sun. Observations with the EIT experiment on SOHO show that the CME began in a small volume and was initially associated with slow motions of prominence material and a small brightening at one end of the prominence. Shortly afterward, the prominence was accelerated to about 100 km s ,1 and was preceded by a bright loop-like structure, which surrounded an emission void, that traveled out into the corona … Show more

“…Figure 1(d ) shows that the bright CME legs matched well with the legs of the erupting prominence (indicated by the arrows), definitely indicating that the CME core was the erupting cool, dense prominence material in the outer corona. This is consistent with the results of Dere, et al (1997) and Plunkett, et al (2000). The CME front heights measured by Seiji Yashiro are shown in Figure 2(a), and the average velocity and acceleration from the first and second-order polynomial fits are 945 km s −1 and 24.7 m s −2 , respectively.…”

“…Almost half of the CMEs, for example, originate on the far side of the Sun, for which no low-coronal observations had been available until the advent of STEREO. Nevertheless the X-ray observations of coronal dimmings and EUV observations of compact CME sources (Dere et al 1997a) had made it clear that there was often a very tight relationship between flares and CMEs. Further studies revealed a close correlation between the CME acceleration and the derivative of the flare SXR flux, taken as a proxy for the flare energy release (Zhang et al 2001Maričić et al 2007).…”

“…Dere et al (1997) and Zhang et al (2001) presented early evidence for lateral expansion of CMEs in the low corona. The cartoon in Figure 17 shows the eruptive flare model (e.g., Figure 3 in Forbes 2000), with a Moreton wave added.…”
