Coronal mass ejection mass, energy, and force estimates using STEREO
MC ATEER, ROBERT THOMAS JAMES; GALLAGHER, PETER THOMAS (2012)Understanding coronal mass ejection (CME) energetics and dynamics has been a long-standing problem, and although previous observational estimates have been made, such studies have been hindered by large uncertainties in ... -
Evidence for internal tether-cutting in a flare/coronal mass ejection observed by Messenger, Rhessi, and Stereo
MC ATEER, ROBERT THOMAS JAMES; GALLAGHER, PETER THOMAS (2010)The relationship between eruptive flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) is a topic of ongoing debate, especially regarding the possibility of a common initiation mechanism. We studied the kinematic and hydrodynamic ... -
Observations of Low Frequency Solar Radio Bursts from the Rosse Solar-Terrestrial Observatory
MC ATEER, ROBERT THOMAS JAMES; GALLAGHER, PETER THOMAS (2012)The Rosse Solar-Terrestrial Observatory (RSTO; www.rosseobservatory.ie) was established at Birr Castle, Co. Offaly, Ireland (53?05'38.9'', 7?55'12.7'') in 2010 to study solar radio bursts and the response of the Earth?s ... -
On the 3-D reconstruction of Coronal Mass Ejections using coronagraph data
MC ATEER, ROBERT THOMAS JAMES; GALLAGHER, PETER THOMAS (Copernicus Publications, 2010)Coronal Mass ejections (CMEs) are enormous eruptions of magnetized plasma expelled from the Sun into the interplanetary space, over the course of hours to days. They can create major disturbances in the interplanetary ... -
Solar Magnetic Feature Detection and Tracking for Space Weather Monitoring
BLOOMFIELD, SHAUN; GALLAGHER, PETER THOMAS; MC ATEER, ROBERT THOMAS JAMES (2011)We present an automated system for detecting, tracking, and cataloging emerging active regions throughout their evolution and decay using SOHO Michelson Doppler Interferometer (MDI) magnetograms. The SolarMonitor Active ... -
Towards Reliable Benchmarking of Solar Flare Forecasting Methods
BLOOMFIELD, DAVID SHAUN; HIGGINS, PAUL A; MC ATEER, ROBERT THOMAS JAMES; GALLAGHER, PETER THOMAS (2012)Solar flares occur in complex sunspot groups, but it remains unclear how the probability of pro- ducing a flare of a given magnitude relates to the characteristics of the sunspot group. Here, we use Geostationary Operational ...
