Scientific paper
The "Sheeley Diagram" has been used to argue in favor of two distinct types of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) based on distinguishable structure in a plot of height versus projected velocity. A large number of manually tracked CME features were analyzed and used to create a new velocity versus altitude plot. This plot does show a distinct class of CMEs. All of the events with low initial velocity show significant acceleration. The hypothesis that these events are usually associated with the eruption of pre-existing streamer structures will be discussed. A "Sheeley Diagram" will also be presented for CME features measured in events associated with large X-ray flares. This work was preformed under contract at NRL and was supported by NASA. The LASCO telescopes are part of the SOHO mission which is a result of international cooperation between NASA and ESA.
