PECULIAR STATIONARY EUV WAVE FRONTS IN THE ERUPTION ON 2011 MAY 11

We present and interpret the observations of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) waves associated with a filament eruption on 2011 May 11. The filament eruption also produces a small B-class two ribbon flare and a coronal mass ejection. The event is observed by the Solar Dynamic Observatory with high spatio-temporal resolution data recorded by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly. As the filament erupts, we observe two types of EUV waves (slow and fast) propagating outwards. The faster EUV wave has a propagation velocity of ∼500 km s⁻¹ and the slower EUV wave has an initial velocity of ∼120 km s⁻¹. We report, for the first time, that not only does the slower EUV wave stop at a magnetic separatrix to form bright stationary fronts, but also the faster EUV wave transits a magnetic separatrix, leaving another stationary EUV front behind.
