cds-question@unistra.frthe-sunstellar-flaresWe report on the properties of halo coronal mass ejections (HCMEs) in solar cycles 23 and 24. We compare the HCME properties between the corresponding phases (rise, maximum, and declining) in cycles 23 and 24 and compare those between the whole cycles. Despite the significant decline in the sunspot number (SSN) in cycle 24, which dropped by 46% with respect to cycle 23, the abundance of HCMEs is similar in the two cycles. The HCME rate per SSN is 44% higher in cycle 24. In the maximum phase, cycle 24 rate normalized to SSN increased by 127%, while the SSN dropped by 43%. The source longitudes of cycle 24 HCMEs are more uniformly distributed than those in cycle 23. We found that the average sky-plane speed in cycle 23 is ~16% higher than that in cycle 24. The size distributions of the associated flares between the two cycles and the corresponding phases are similar. The average speed at a central meridian distance (CMD) >~600 for cycle 23 is ~28% higher than that of cycle 24. We discuss the unusual bump in HCME activity in the declining phase of cycle 23 as being due to exceptional active regions that produced many CMEs during 2003 October-2005 October. The differing HCME properties in the two cycles can be attributed to the anomalous expansion of cycle 24 CMEs. Considering the HCMEs in the rise, maximum, and declining phases, we find that the maximum phase shows the highest contrast between the two cycles.2020ApJ...903..118Dhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/903/118CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicerelated-toJ/A+A/432/1063 : Analysis of inner solar corona Extreme-UV (Lanzafame+, 2005)J/ApJ/709/1238 : Solar Coronal Mass Ejection (Yeates+, 2010)J/A+A/587/A29 : Time and positions of coronal bright points (Sudar+, 2016)J/MNRAS/456/1542 : Predicting coronal mass eject. transit times (Sudar+, 2016)J/A+A/619/A99 : Helioseismic measurements solar meridional flow (Liang+, 2018)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/903/118https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/903/118http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/903/118https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/903/118https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/903/118http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/903/118GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapdefaultJ/ApJ/903/118/fig1Number of Halo, locations, speeds and flare sizesCME[1996/2018] Year of CME appearance (UT)stime.epochrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
