Scientific paper

Several recent observational results suggest that the heating of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) continues even after the ejected material leaves the region from where it was launched. To investigate the importance of heating in the energy budget of these events, we analyze a partial halo CME on 28 June 2000 that was observed by the UVCS, LACSO, and EIT instruments aboard SOHO and the MK4 coronagraph at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory (MLSO). Heating rates are estimated by using a time-dependent ionization code with the densities derived from UVCS measurements as the outer boundary condition. The energy deposited into heat is then compared to the kinetic energy of the CME estimated from LASCO, MK4, and UVCS observations. We assess the relevance of theories of flux rope heating and consider connections with similar phenomena in laboratory plasma experiments.
