Scientific paper

Coronograph observations of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) do not provide the real latitude of their origin. The registered apparent latitude is the projection of the CME trajectory on the plane of the sky, and it may considerably differ from their original location. We show in this paper, how the projection effects can be eliminated from CME latitude distribution. The proposed method is based on the assumption that events move radially, their longitudinal distribution is uniform, and they are all detected. This tool has been applied to SOHO LASCO data, for which detection efficiency was near 100%. The obtained distributions of real latitudes have cut off at ~20° in 1997 (minimum solar activity) and ~50° in 1998 (rise phase). The events observed at higher latitudes proved to be only apparent projections of events really originated at lower latitudes.
