| 内容記述 | The broadening of the tops of nine outwardly expanding looplike coronal mass-ejection transients observed during 1973-1974 and 1980 has been examined. Five of the nine transients exhibit increased breadth with time (height); although the rates vary widely, no event shows an increase which can be fitted by a power-law form with a greater-than-linear increase with height. The breadth of four events decreases with height. When all nine events are considered together, the transient breadth with height is fitted with an expression h varies as R exp 0.48 with large scatter. In addition, measurements of the total observed loop length of the nine transients show that this length L varies as R exp 1.30. Both of these results are contrary to the predictions of one model of loop expulsion as a result of an assumed azimuthal magnetic field gradient. Finally, when combined with the facts that looplike mass ejections are usually associated with the occurrence of eruptive prominences, and that such mass ejections are generally accelerated through the corona, it is found that the observed variation of transient breadth with height contradicts some characteristics of self-similar fluid flow which have been ascribed to mass-ejection transients. |
