Scattering, Sun: Corona, Sun: Coronal Mass Ejections (Cmes)
Scientific paper
With the complement of coronagraphs and imagers in the SECCHI suite, we will follow a coronal mass ejection (CME) continuously from the Sun to Earth for the first time. The comparison, however, of the CME emission among the various instruments is not as easy as one might think. This is because the telescopes record the Thomson-scattered emission from the CME plasma, which has a rather sensitive dependence on the geometry between the observer and the scattering material. Here we describe the proper treatment of the Thomson-scattered emission, compare the CME brightness over a large range of elongation angles, and discuss the implications for existing and future white-light coronagraph observations.
