摘要
The Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS) has observed several coronal mass ejections (CME) and, for some of them, the evolution of the ejected plasma has been followed. We present two CME events on December 23 1996 and March 6 1997, respectively. In both cases we were able to detect many spectral lines providing very detailed diagnostics of physical and dynamical characteristics of plasma. The Lyman lines of hydrogen are very bright but also other low temperature lines as C III (977.02 Angstrom), N III (989.79 Angstrom, 991.58 Angstrom), N II (1084.56 Angstrom), N V (1242.80 Angstrom) are very intense as well. Absorption has been detected In the hot coronal line of Si XII (499 Angstrom) probably due to the He I and H I in the cold ejected plasma. Doppler line shifts give an accurate diagnostics of the velocity field along the line of sight.
