The Detectability of Coronal Mass Ejections in the Low Corona Using Multi-slit Extreme-ultraviolet Spectroscopy

The spectra of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the low corona play a crucial role in understanding their origins and physical mechanism, and enhancing space weather forecasting. However, capturing these spectra faces significant challenges. This paper introduces a scheme of a multi-slit spectrometer design with five slits, acquiring the global spectra of the solar corona simultaneously with a focus on the spectra of CMEs in the low corona. The chosen wavelength range of the spectrometer (170-180 Å) includes four extreme ultraviolet emission lines (Fe x 174.53 Å, Fe ix 171.07 Å, Fe x 175.26 Å, Fe x 177.24 Å), which provides information of plasma velocity, density and temperature. Utilizing a numerical simulation of the global corona for both the on-disk and the off-limb scenarios, we focus on resolving the ambiguity associated with various Doppler velocity components of CMEs, particularly for a fast CME in the low corona. A new application of our decomposition technique is adopted, enabling the successful identification of multiple discrete CME velocity components. Our findings demonstrate a strong correlation between the synthetic model spectra and the inverted results, indicating the robustness of our decomposition method and its significant potential for global monitoring of the solar corona, including CMEs.
