Description

We report on the simultaneous observation of a Moreton wave in Hα and two kinds of coronal expanding features in soft X-rays near the solar limb. We consider the faster X-ray feature and the slower one as being an ``X-ray wave'' and ``ejecta'', respectively. The chromospheric Moreton wave propagated on the solar disk at a speed of 1040±100kms[-1] , whereas the coronal X-ray wave propagated outside of the disk toward the outer corona at 1400±250kms[-1]. We identified the X-ray wave as MHD fast-mode shock. The fast-mode Mach number (Mf) of the X-ray wave was also estimated to be about 1.13-1.31, which decreases during propagation. The timing when the Mf became ``1'' is consistent with that of the disappearance of the Moreton wave. Moreover, we discuss the 3-dimensional structure of the shock wave and the relation between the shock wave and the ejecta (and Hα filament eruptions).
