A Three-Dimensional Velocity of an Erupting Prominence Prior to a Coronal Mass Ejection


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We present a detailed three-dimensional (3D) view of a prominence eruption, coronal loop expansion, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) associated with an M4.4 flare that occurred on 2011 March 8 in the active region NOAA 11165. Full-disk H$alpha$ images of the flare and filament ejection were successfully obtained by the Flare Monitoring Telescope (FMT) following its relocation to Ica University, Peru. Multiwavelength observation around the H$alpha$ line enabled us to derive the 3D velocity field of the H$alpha$ prominence eruption. Features in extreme ultraviolet were also obtained by the Atmospheric Imager Assembly onboard the {it Solar Dynamic Observatory} and the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager on board the {it Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory - Ahead} satellite. We found that, following collision of the erupted filament with the coronal magnetic field, some coronal loops began to expand, leading to the growth of a clear CME. We also discuss the succeeding activities of CME driven by multiple interactions between the expanding loops and the surrounding coronal magnetic field.
