The publication, “The Relationship Between the Kinematics of Coronal Mass Ejections and the Brightness of the Corona” demonstrated that above a certain level of coronal brightness, the likelihood of a high-velocity CME significantly decreases. This data has allowed us to consider the question of whether coronal brightness affects, or is at least related to, the eruptiveness of flaring active regions and the velocity of any resulting CMEs. Now, we are moving that analysis into the realm of SEP and GLE events. Preliminary subsequent analysis suggests that SEP and GLE events also occur below a certain brightness threshold. This poster discusses the expansion of CBI analysis to particle events, the path to real-time analysis with other coronagraphs such as COR2A and CCOR-1 and 2.This research is supported by the Office of Naval Research.
