A multi-wavelength analysis of the February 6/7, 1997 coronal mass ejectionThe coronal mass ejection (CME) event on 6 to 7 February 1997 that originate from the southwest quadrant of the sun are analyzed. The CME is accelerated from a projected speed of 170 km/s to about 650 km/s at 25 solar radii. The CME is an arcade eruption followed by bright prominence core structures. The CME was accompanied by an arcade formation. The X-ray and extreme ultraviolet observations suggest that the reconnection proceeded from the northwest and the southeast end of a filament channel. The CME event caused interplanetary effects that produced a medium size geomagnetic storm on earth. Issues relating to the origin and propagation of geo-effective solar disturbances are addressed.
