    Notes: Abstract Since shortly after launch in April 1998, the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) observatory has amassed a collection of H i Lα (1216 Å) observations of the Sun that have been not only of high spatial and temporal resolution, but also span a duration in time never before achieved. The Lα images produced by TRACE are, however, composed of not only the desired line emission, but also local ultraviolet continuum and longer wavelength contamination. This contamination has frustrated attempts to interpret TRACE observations in H i Lα. The Very Advanced Ultraviolet Telescope (VAULT) sounding rocket payload was launched from White Sands Missile range 7 May 1999 at 20:00 UT. The VAULT telescope for this flight was a dedicated H i Lα imaging spectroheliograph. We use TRACE observations in the 1216 Å and 1600 Å channels along with observations from the VAULT flight to develop a method for removing UV continuum and longer wavelength contamination from TRACE Lα images.

    Notes: Abstract Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are frequently associated with erupting prominences near the solar surface. A spectacular eruption of the southern polar crown prominence was observed on 2 June 1998, accompanied by a CME that was well-observed by the LASCO coronagraphs on SOHO. The prominence was observed in its quiescent state and was followed throughout its eruption by the SOHO EIT and later by LASCO as the bright, twisted core of the CME. Ground-based Hα observations of the prominence were obtained at the Ondřejov Observatory in the Czech Republic. A great deal of fine structure was observed within the prominence as it erupted. The prominence motion was found to rotate about its axis as it moved outward. The CME contained a helical structure that is consistent with the ejection of a magnetic flux rope from the Sun. Similar structures have been observed by LASCO in many other CMEs. The relationship of the flux rope to other structures in the CME is often not clear. In this event, the prominence clearly lies near the trailing edge of the structure identified as a flux rope. This structure can be observed from the onset of the CME in the low corona all the way out to the edge of the LASCO field of view. The initiation and evolution of the CME are modeled using a fully self-consistent, 3D axisymmetric, MHD code.

    Notes: Abstract The Very Large Array and the Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) aboard the Yohkoh satellite jointly observed the rapid growth and decay of a so-called ‘anemone’ active region on 3–6 April, 1992 (AR 7124). The VLA obtained maps of the AR 7124 at 1.5, 4.7, and 8.4 GHz. In general, discrete coronal loop systems are rarely resolved at 1.5 GHz wavelengths because of limited brightness contrast due to optical depth effects and wave scattering. Due to its unusual anemone-like morphology, however, several discrete loops or loop systems are resolved by both the VLA at 1.5 GHz and the SXT in AR 7124. Using extrapolations of the photospheric field and the radio observations at 4.7 and 8.4 GHz, we find that the microwave emission is the result of gyroresonance emission from a hot, rarefied plasma, at the second and/or third harmonic. The decimetric source is complex -1.5 GHz emission from the leading part of AR 7124 is due to free-free emission, while that in the trailing part of the active region is dominated by gyroresonance emission. We also examine an interesting case of a discrete radio loop with no soft X-ray (SXR) emission adjacent to a hot SXR loop. This observation clearly shows the multithermal nature of the solar corona.
