Opportunities for early detection of CMEs and CIRs by Vigil data and machine learning approach

Speaker

Description

The ESA Vigil mission will monitor the Sun and ejected solar plasma in real time from Lagrange point L5. From this unique vantage point, Vigil will provide early detection of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and Co-rotating Interaction Regions (CIRs), enhancing our ability to anticipate space weather threats. In this contribution, we will present two machine learning models that employ measurements from already operated space instruments analogous to those Vigil will have onboard (Majirsky et al., 2025). The first model predicts the occurrence of geomagnetic storms by combining images and in situ data. The second model classifies in situ data to provide early detection of CIRs at L5. We will present the details of these models and discuss opportunities for follow-up activities.
