Solar Coronal Mass Ejections Plasma Diagnostics Expressed as Potential Stellar CME Signatures.
WILSON M.L. and RAYMOND J.C.
Abstract (from CDS):
Solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have a strong association with solar flares that is not fully understood. This characteristic of our Sun's magnetic activity may also occur on other stars, but the lack of successfully detected stellar CMEs makes it difficult to perform statistical studies that might show a similar association between CMEs and flares. Because of the potentially strong association, the search for stellar CMEs often starts with a successful search for superflares on magnetically active stars. Regardless of the flare's presence, we emphasize the utility of searching for CME-specific spectroscopic signatures when attempting to find and confirm stellar CME candidates. We use solar CMEs as examples of why a multitude of ultraviolet emission lines, when detected simultaneously, can substantially improve the credibility of spectroscopically discovered stellar CME candidates. We make predictions on how bright CME-related emission lines can be if they are derived from distant stars. We recommend the use of three emission lines in particular (C IV 1550 Å, O VI 1032 Å, and C III 977 Å) due to their potentially bright signal and convenient diagnostic capabilities that can be used to confirm if an observational signature truly derives from a stellar CME.
