Abstract

We present and discuss here the observations of a small long duration GOES B- class flare associated with a quiescent filament eruption, a global EUV wave and a CME on 2011 May 11. The event was well observed by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), GONG H{\alpha}, STEREO and HiRAS spectrograph. As the fil- ament erupted, ahead of the filament we observed the propagation of EIT wave fronts, as well as two flare ribbons on both sides of the polarity inversion line (PIL) on the solar surface. The observations show the co-existence of two types of EUV waves, i.e., a fast and a slow one. A type II radio burst with up to the third harmonic component was also associated with this event. The evolution of pho- tospheric magnetic field showed flux emergence and cancellation at the filament site before its eruption.
