May 12, 1997 Interplanetary Event: Multi-Dimensional Solar Wind Modeling and CME Analysis

This document presents a comprehensive study of the May 12, 1997 interplanetary event, focusing on a 3-D MHD steady-state coronal model based on photospheric field maps. It analyzes the propagation of an ICME into a bi-modal solar wind, detailing the geometrical and kinematical fitting of CME halos. Key parameters, such as latitude, longitude, angular width, and velocity, are examined, providing insights into the dynamics of solar wind interactions and the impact of shock compression on the interplanetary magnetic field.
