First Time Observed M-Shaped Coronal Mass Ejection Associated with a Blowout Jet and an Extreme Ultraviolet Wave

TL;DR

This paper reports the first observation of an M-shaped CME associated with a blowout jet and EUV wave, revealing complex interactions and providing new insights into solar eruption mechanisms.

Contribution

It presents the first detailed observation of two bubble-like CMEs and a jet-like CME triggered simultaneously by a single eruptive event, with a proposed model explaining their complex configuration.

Findings

Eruption of a blowout jet caused a large-scale EUV wave.

EUV wave split into two parts, forming two bubble-like CMEs.

Jet, EUV wave, and CMEs are highly interconnected.

Abstract

The coronal blowout jet, extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wave and coronal mass ejection (CME) are common phenomena in the solar atmosphere. In this paper, we report the occurrence of an M-shaped CME event associated with a blowout jet and an EUV wave using high-resolution, multi-angle and multi-wavelength observations taken from Solar Dynamics Observatory, and Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory. Interestingly, and for the first time, it is found that two bubble-like CMEs and a jet-like CME were simultaneously triggered by the same eruptive event. Our observational analyses and findings indicate the following: (1) the eruption of a blowout jet led to a large-scale EUV wave; (2) the eruption of the EUV wave swept a small filament (prominence) and a long filament; (3) eventually the EUV wave split-up into two parts, leading to the two bubble-like CMEs, while the blowout jet induced a jet-like CME. The combined events appear to form an M-shape like structure CME, that we sketch throughout a proposed cartoon tentatively explaining the observed complex configuration. Based on observational diagnosis, we argue that the jet, the EUV wave and the multi-CME are highly interlinked. A suggested eruption-model, from the solar atmosphere to the space, is outlined and discussed, providing a possibly new way to probe the relationship between the solar eruptions and the surrounding space. The investigation of such rare phenomenon can be a key point for better understanding of the physical associated triggering mechanisms and energy transport in the solar atmosphere, crucial for MHD simulations and modeling.
