CME development in the corona and interplanetary medium: A multi-wavelength approach

Abstract

This review focuses on the so called three-part CMEs which essentially represent the standard picture of a CME eruption. It is shown how the multi-wavelength observations obtained in the last decade, especially those with high cadence, have validated the early models and contributed to their evolution. These observations cover a broad spectral range including the EUV, white-light, and radio domains.
