Observational evidence for the relationship between Halpha surges and large-scale coronal activities

Liu, Yu

From the observations taken by ground-based Halpha telescopes and space SOHO/LASCO instruments, we found that some emerging flux activities could trigger large-scale reconstruction of coronal fields, i.e., coronal mass ejections (CMEs). This indicates that the small-scale magnetic flux emerged from below the photosphere could in fact drive out the preexisting coronal flux from below. In a preliminary statistical study based on 12 long-length surges, it was found that the morphology of surges should have close relationship to the shape of the CMEs associated. The spike (or, jet)-like surges correspond to the jetlike CMEs, the diffused surges usually occurred associated with halo CMEs, while the highly sheared surges were found to have no obvious CME association. We deduced that the different Halpha surge morphology should suggest different situation of the coronal fields before the coronal disturbance caused by EFRs.
