Here we estimate the de-projected speed of the fastest and the slowest CMEs that an active region (AR) produces. Using the horizontal and vertical magnetic field components of the AR's vector magnetogram, we calculate seven AR integrated magnetic parameters (magnetic flux, area, and five different non-potential parameters) and examine the relationship of the CME speed with those magnetic parameters. Our analysis suggests that one of the non-potential parameters, i.e. the proxy of the AR free magnetic energy can determine the upper and the lower limits of the de-projected CME speed better than any of the other AR measures, considered here. |
