Outlines : A large arcade associated with a long-duration soft X-ray emission was observed on May 19, 1992. This large arcade was formed along the inversion line and a filament eruption was observed as part of this event. Also associated with this event were solar energetic particles and an interplanetary shock observed near Earth. This event supports the idea that coronal mass ejections are large scale eruptions along an inversion line, or a heliospheric current sheet.

We submitted a paper on this subject to Solar Physics.

Title : A LARGE ARCADE ALONG THE INVERSION LINE, OBSERVED ON MAY 19, 1992 BY YOHKOH, AND ENHANCEMENT OF INTERPLANETARY ENERGETIC PARTICLES

Abstract :

A solar source of the interplanetary disturbance was identified by the transit time of the solar energetic particles and the interplanetary shock. Large arcade observed by Yohkoh/SXT colud be after-effect of the coronal mass ejection (CME). Filament eruption associated with the event seems to be just a marker of the inversion line. Accordong our consideration, the present models on the eruption is not sufficient. 3-dimension simulation might shed light on this problem.
