Center =154.22+/-0.98 degrees PA (SE quadrant) (red radial line)
Maximum height = 1.50+/-0.06 Rsun
Width (at 1.20 Rsun) = 19.33+/-0.76 degrees latitude (measured between edges -- vertical dashed lines at inflection points)
Width (at 1.35 Rsun) = 15.04+/-1.20 degrees latitude
Cavity depletion, equatorward (1.20 Rsun) = 0.32+/-0.017 (ratio of red to blue dashed line)
Cavity depletion, equatorward (at 1.35 Rsun) = 0.14+/-0.017 (ratio of red to blue dashed line)
Cavity depletion, poleward (1.20 Rsun) = 0.33+/-0.029 (ratio of green to blue dashed line) Minimum intensity in cavity (1.20 Rsun) = 3.4e-07+/-5.2e-09 (Bsun) (blue dashed lines);
Cavity depletion, poleward (1.35 Rsun) = 0.15+/-0.017 (ratio of green to blue dashed line) Minimum intensity in cavity (1.35 Rsun) = 1.7e-07+/-1.7e-09 (Bsun) (blue dashed lines);
Slope at equatorward cavity edge (1.20 Rsun) = -1.6e-08+/-6.7e-09 (Bsun/degree)
Slope at equatorward cavity edge (1.35 Rsun) = -8.8e-09+/-3.5e-09 (Bsun/degree)
Slope at poleward cavity edge (1.20 Rsun) = 4.3e-08+/-6.7e-09 (Bsun/degree)
Slope at poleward cavity edge (1.35 Rsun) = 5.9e-09+/-3.5e-09 (Bsun/degree)

length lower limit = 1 days visible in white light at limb March 30** ;

Recurrence =East limb February 3; -4; -5 (CME!); East limb March 2; -3 (CME!); West limb March 15**; East limb March 30** ; West limb April 13**; Also visible Sep-Dec 1999
Evolution comments = PCF-S -- same as Sept-Dec 99, but cavity over different portion. Visible both limbs at times. Also visible March 14,16... West limb -- many other days. Possible eruption April 15 -- but no Mk4 data -- and may be too far from pole. System probably exist longer than shown here. At least two Mk4 eruptions, Feb 5 and Mar 3 (orig CME cases).

Neutral line orientation at the limb =
CME/dimmings association = CME March 3 (also Feb 5); prominence eruption on March 3;

Active region association = N/A

Filament/FC association = PCF-S; polar crown filament

Other comments: N/A

Filament - visible in white light

Necking - no neck
