This proposal will use RHESSI hard X-ray data and TRACE images to investigate the temporal and spatial characteristics of magnetic reconnection in CMEs. The goal is to understand the role of reconnection in the initiation of CMEs. This work will use prominence eruptions as proxies for CME initiation and suitably processed hard X-ray data as an indicator of reconnection location. Time-of-flight analysis will help constrain the reconnection region to be analyzed. This approach to examining CME initiation is totally new, since it will exploit never-before-available RHESSI data and time-of-flight measurements.

本课题将利用RHESSI硬x射线数据和TRACE图像研究日冕物质抛射磁重联的时空特征。目的是了解重连在日冕物质抛射起始中的作用。这项工作将使用日珥喷发作为CME起始的代理，并适当处理硬x射线数据作为重连位置的指示。飞行时间分析将有助于约束待分析的重连区域。这种研究日冕物质抛射起始的方法是全新的，因为它将利用前所未有的RHESSI数据和飞行时间测量。
