Initiation and propagation of coronal mass ejections

TL;DR

This paper reviews recent advances in understanding how coronal mass ejections start and travel, focusing on trigger mechanisms and the role of EUV observations like EIT waves and dimmings.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of recent research on CME initiation mechanisms and the observational/modeling studies of their propagation features.

Findings

Identification of multiple trigger mechanisms for CME initiation

Correlation between EIT waves/dimmings and CME propagation

Enhanced understanding of CME initiation and propagation processes

Abstract

This paper reviews recent progress in the research on the initiation and propagation of CMEs. In the initiation part, several trigger mechanisms are discussed; In the propagation part, the observations and modelings of EIT waves/dimmings, as the EUV counterparts of CMEs, are described.
