Title: Reformation of a coronal helmet streamer by magnetic reconnection after a coronal mass ejection
Abstract: A bright feature observed on Jan. 24–26, 1992 with the soft X‐ray telescope on the YOHKOH spacecraft and with the coronameter at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory assumed the appearance of a coronal helmet streamer as it slowly expanded. Mauna Loa observations from Jan. 22–24 indicate that a prominence eruption and coronal mass ejection occurred before this feature was seen. We interpret the Jan. 24–26 observations as evidence for “reformation” of a magnetically closed helmet structure as a consequence of magnetic reconnection that proceeded along a vertical magnetic neutral sheet formed by the mass ejection.
