Subject: Backsided full halo CME on 2001/04/01
Status: O
LASCO observed a full halo CME on 2001/04/01. A bright front first
appeared, filling the SE quadrant of C2's field of view, at 11:26 UT.
The bright front spanned approximately 180 deg from the NE to SW by
12:50, with fainter extensions around the rest of the occulting disk.
This CME has been determined backsided and was probably associated
with the long duration M5.5 X-ray flare observed between 10:55 and
13:24 by GOES. This flare can be discerned in EIT with apparent
peak activity at 11:00. Bright post-flare loops are evident on or
over the SE limb from about 12:00.
Best regards,
Gareth Lawrence.
