Coronal Mass Ejections: Observations (2012, background): “provided by Billings differs somewhat from the initial treatment by Schuster (1879) and Minneart (1930). An alternative treatment of this theory and it applications to both coronagraphs and heliospheric imagers can be found in Howard and Tappin (2009), Howard (2011a) and Howard and DeForest (2012b).”
The Calm before the Storm: The Link between Quiescent Cavities and Coronal Mass Ejections (2006, background): “…et al. 2004), observed properties of coronal prominences (Priest et al. 1989; Rust 1994; Rust & Kumar 1994; Lites & Low 1997; Gibson & Low 1998; Aulanier & Démoulin 1998), X-ray sigmoids (Rust & Kumar 1994; Titov & Démoulin 1999; Low & Berger 2003; Fan & Gibson 2003, 2004; Kliem et al. 2004;…”
RECONSTRUCTING CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS WITH COORDINATED IMAGING AND IN SITU OBSERVATIONS: GLOBAL STRUCTURE, KINEMATICS, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR SPACE WEATHER FORECASTING (2010, background): “Coronagraphs record photospheric radiation (or white light) Thomson-scattered by electrons (Billings 1966), so what is observed is essentially a density structure projected onto the sky.”
Three‐dimensional MHD simulation of a flux rope driven CME (2004, background): “that takes into account the extended light source of the limbdarkened solar disk as summarized by Billings [1966]. For these images, we have divided the background steady-state intensity to form a relative brightness.”
Modeling of Flux Rope Coronal Mass Ejections (2006, methodology): “The technique relies on the inversion of the equation describing the relation between the observed Thomson scattering brightness and the electron density (Billings 1966):”
The Physical Processes of CME/ICME Evolution (2017, background): “Manifest in coronagraph images, CMEs are seen in Thomson-scattered white-light, where the brightness reflects the electron density near the plane of the sky (Billings 1966).”
Forward Modeling of Coronal Mass Ejections Using STEREO/SECCHI Data (2009, background): “We observe CMEs in white-light emission arising from Thomson scattering of photospheric light by the free electrons of the coronal plasma (Minnaert, 1930; Billings, 1966).”
Coronal Holes and the High-Speed Solar Wind (2002, methodology): “An alternate approach was taken by Benz and Gold (1977), who modeled the proton distribution as the sum of a collision-dominated (nearly Maxwellian) population and an escaping high-velocity tail. The standard fluid equations for the collisional protons were modified by including appropriate mass, mo”
Three-dimensional MHD Simulation of the 2003 October 28 Coronal Mass Ejection: Comparison with LASCO Coronagraph Observations (2008, methodology): “First, the F-corona is unpo- larized within 5-6 RS, while the K-corona is polarized with components both radial and tangential to the solar limb (Billings 1966).”
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GRADUATED CYLINDRICAL SHELL MODEL FOR THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL RECONSTRUCTION OF CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS (2011, methodology): “Figure 2 shows a white-light rendering of the model using Thomson scattering (Billings 1966).”
COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF CORONAL MASS EJECTION MASS AND ENERGY PROPERTIES OVER A FULL SOLAR CYCLE (2010, background): “from EUV dimmings) of significant material ejection from temperatures below a few 105 K (Bewsher et al. 2008).”
Sun Earth Connection Coronal and Heliospheric Investigation (SECCHI) (2000, methodology): “This is done by taking polarizer measurements at angles of -60°=Ia, 0°=Ib, and +60°= Ic, and combining them using the following equations (Billings 1966):”
Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections Observed in the Heliosphere: 1. Review of Theory (2009, methodology): “The basic physics of the Thomson-scattering process by which coronagraphs and heliospheric imagers are able to observe CME/ICMEs has been described in detail by Billings (1966), whose analysis is derived from several texts (principally Minnaert 1930; van de Hulst 1950).
