The Evolution of Ion Charge States in Coronal Mass Ejections

We model the observed charge states of the elements C, O, Mg, Si, and Fe in the ejecta of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). We concentrate on “halo” CMEs observed in situ by the Advanced Composition Explorer/Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer to measure ion charge states, and also remotely by the...
