A discrete tomography method has been developed that is able to reconstruct three-dimensional coronal mass ejection (CME) density structure. We test the method by producing synthetic coronagraph imagery for three events using the…

Predicting the effects of a coronal mass ejection (CME) impact requires knowing if impact will occur, which part of the CME impacts, and its magnetic properties. We explore the relation between CME deflections and rotations, which change…
