In this study, we evaluate a coronal mass ejection (CME) arrival prediction tool that utilizes the wide-angle observations made by STEREO's heliospheric imagers (HI). The unsurpassable advantage of these imagers is the possibility to…

The morphology and heliospheric impact of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are strongly shaped by their preeruptive magnetic configuration and surrounding coronal environment, yet these influences remain difficult to constrain observationally.…

Solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large-scale eruptions of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun into the corona and interplanetary space. They are the most significant drivers of adverse space weather at Earth and other locations in…
