EUV Coronal Waves: Atmospheric and Heliospheric Connections and Energetics

Abstract:

Since their discovery in late 90's by EIT on SOHO, the study
EUV coronal waves has been a fascinating and
frequently strongly debated research area. While it seems as if
an overall consensus has been reached about the nurture and nature of this phenomenon,
there are still several important questions regarding EUV waves. By focusing on the most recent
observations, we will hereby
present our current understanding about the nurture and nature of EUV waves,
discuss their connections with other atmospheric and heliospheric phenomena (e.g.,
flares and CMEs, Moreton waves, coronal shocks, coronal oscillations, SEP events) and finally
assess their possible energetic contribution to the overall budget of related
eruptive phenomena.
