$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=8cm,clip]{2166fig1.eps}\par\end{figure}$ Figure 1: Distribution of: a) accelerations ( $\Delta a$ = 10 m s^-2 bins); b) velocities at R = 3 ( $\Delta v_3$ = 100 km s^-1 bins), the inset shows the distribution of mean velocities $v_{\rm m}$ ; c) widths ( $\Delta \phi$ = 20 $^{\circ }$ bins); d) radial distances of the last CME measurement ( $\Delta R$ = 2 bins). The sample of F-CMEs is shown by solid-black lines, the sample of DSF-CMEs by solid-gray lines and the sample of all CMEs by thin-dashed lines.

The linear least squares fits (shown together with the correlation coefficient c) are almost the same for the two samples.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=8.55cm,clip]{2166fig3.eps}\end{figure}$ Figure 3: a) Velocities of CMEs at R=3 plotted versus the SXR peak fluxes of the associated flares. The relationship is shown separately for different classes of CME widths (the bins 0-60 $^{\circ }$ , 61-120 $^{\circ }$ , 121-180 $^{\circ }$ , and 181-300 $^{\circ }$ contain 148, 214, 65, and 39 events, respectively; 79 halo CMEs are shown in gray). The average velocity $\overline v_3$ of DSF-CMEs is indicated by the horizontal arrow at the y-axis. b) The velocity-width relationship: B and C-flare CMEs are shown in gray and M and X-flare CMEs are shown in black. The fit taken from the sample of DSF-CMEs is shown by the dashed line. c) The CME widths shown as a function of the peak fluxes of the associated flares. The circles represent mean values of the B, C, M, and X class flares. The horizontal arrow drawn at the y-axis shows the mean width of DSF-CMEs. d) The parameter $E^*=\phi v_{\rm m}^2$ is shown versus the time integrated flux $I_{\rm t}$ of the associated flare.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=13cm,clip]{aa2166fig4.eps}\end{figure}$ Figure 4: a) Several examples of fast non-flare CMEs that show no acceleration, or even decelerate. b) Several examples of flare-associated CMEs showing a significant acceleration. The dates (dd.mm.yy) are attached by the curves. The slopes of 100, 500, and 1000 km s^-1 are indicated in the upper-left corner of both graphs. Measurements are provided by the online LASCO CME catalogue prepared by Gopalswamy et al. (http://cdaw.gsfc.nasa.gov/CME_list/).
