Space-borne TSI Record. The TSI has been measured from space via an uninterrupted series of overlapping instruments since 1978. Scale differences between instruments are due to calibration differences.

Abstract Coronal dimmings associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the Sun have gained much attention since the late 1990s when they were first observed in high-cadence imagery of the SOHO/EIT and Yohkoh/SXT instruments. They appear as localized sudden decreases of the coronal emission at extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray (SXR) wavelengths, that evolve impulsively during the lift-off and early expansion phase of a CME. Coronal dimmings have been interpreted as “footprints” of the erupting flux rope and also as indicators of the coronal mass loss by CMEs. However, these are only some aspects of coronal dimmings and how they relate to the overall CME/flare process. The goal of this review is to summarize our current understanding and observational findings on coronal dimmings, how they relate to CME simulations, and to discuss how they can be used to provide us with a deeper insight and diagnostics of the triggering of CMEs, the magnetic connectivities and coronal reconfigurations due to the CME as well as the replenishment of the corona after an eruption. In addition, we go beyond a pure review by introducing a new, physics-driven categorization of coronal dimmings based on the magnetic flux systems involved in the eruption process. Finally, we discuss the recent progress in studying coronal dimmings on solar-like and late-type stars, and how to use them as a diagnostics for stellar coronal mass ejections and their properties.
