Reconstruction of the 2022 March 10 CME-driven shock. Panels (a)–(f): Images from LASCO-C2 and LASCO-C3 depicting the evolution of the CME. These images also show the reconstructed shock wave calculated using an ellipsoidal model (orange lines) via the PyThea code package Kouloumvakos et al. (2022). Panel (g): Relative positions of Solar Orbiter and ACE in Carrington coordinates during the initial stages of the event, shown in a view of the ecliptic plane from the ecliptic north, produced using the Solar-MACH tool (Gieseler et al. 2023). The arrow denotes the direction of the CME-driven shock nose expansion computed from PyThea. Panels (h) and (i): Computed kinematic properties (height and speed) of the reconstructed shock wave from PyThea.
