| description | Abstract Predicting the impacts of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) is a major focus of current space weather forecasting efforts. Typically, CME properties are reconstructed from stereoscopic coronal images and then used to forward model a CME's interplanetary evolution. Knowing the uncertainty in the coronal reconstructions is then a critical factor in determining the uncertainty of any predictions. A growing number of catalogs of coronal CME reconstructions exist, but no extensive comparison between these catalogs has yet been performed. Here we develop a Living List of Attributes Measured in Any Coronal Reconstruction (LLAMACoRe), an online collection of individual catalogs, which we intend to continually update. In this first version, we use results from 24 different catalogs with 3D reconstructions using Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory observations between 2007 and 2014. We have collated the individual catalogs, determining which reconstructions correspond to the same events. LLAMACoRe contains 2,954 reconstructions for 1,862 CMEs. Of these, 511 CMEs contain multiple reconstructions from different catalogs. Using the best‐constrained values for each CME, we find that the combined catalog reproduces the generally known solar cycle trends. We determine the typical difference we would expect between two independent reconstructions of the same event and find values of 4.0° in the latitude, 8.0° in the longitude, 24.0° in the tilt, 9.3° in the angular width, 0.1 in the shape parameter κ, 115 km/s in the velocity, and 2.5 × 1015 g in the mass. These remain the most probable values over the solar cycle, though we find more extreme outliers in the deviation toward solar maximum. |
