A halo or partial-halo CME was detected with the following characteristics:
t0 | dt0| pa | da | v | dv | minv| maxv|
041|2013/05/17 09:12| 06 | 350| 322| 0726| 0347| 0145| 1669
Details can be found here: http://www.sidc.oma.be/cactus/out/latestCMEs.html
t0: onset time, earliest indication of liftoff
dt0: duration of liftoff (hours)
pa: principal angle, counterclockwise from North (degrees)
da: angular width of the CME (degrees),
v: median velocity (km/s)
dv: variation (1 sigma) of velocity over the width of the CME
mindv: lowest velocity detected within the CME
maxdv: highest velocity detected within the CME
This message is sent whenever a CME wider than 150 degrees is detected by cactus.
