I again had a pretty good day! I was able to finish up the calculations from the June 2, 2011 CME that I found yesterday and then I located two CMEs that happened two days later on June 4. The two CMEs that I found from June 4 were both labeled "Halos" (meaning that they hit the Earth), however they both were shooting in the wrong direction according to the STEREO-A and the STEREO-B satellites. Dr. Dube asked me to do the calculations for these CMEs anyway because the GOES instrument presented data that confirmed that these two CMEs did hit Earth. Maybe there was a reversal of the axes in the STEREO-A and B data. When I finished the calculations for CMEs, I found another "n" value. Now I have two different "n" values, so I really only need one more! Of course it can't hurt to have more, so my guess is that I will end up with more than just three "n"' values. Having more will only increase the accuracy of my research. As usual, I am just going to keep trying to find as many CMEs as I possibly can, and I would like to start some slides for my final presentation tomorrow as well.
