Abstract

We briefly overview results of our study of the large-scale solar activity associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The observational material is constituted with data of the SPIRIT telescope aboard the CORONAS-F satellite in the three EUV channels 175, 284, and 304 Å. In particular, we consider a powerful geoeffective event of November 4, 2003, which was not observed by the SOHO/EIT telescope, a series of extremely powerful events of October 2003, and an event of November 18, 2003, with filament eruption. The efficiency of combined analysis of the SPIRIT and EIT data is demonstrated. The analysis confirms the coincidence of many dimmings in different spectral channels, including coronal lines with different excitation temperatures and the transition-region line, as well as the global character and homology of dimmings in recurrent events. The higher cadence SPIRIT observations at 304 Å reveal a slowly propagating large-scale darkening probably caused by absorption of emission in the dense, cold plasma of an eruptive filament.
