  1. Solar & Heliospheric Observatory Rayana Thompson & Windell Barfield

  2. SOHO • December 2, 1995 • UV & Magnetic Optical Information • Eight Instruments

  3. Important Instruments • EIT– Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope • ERNE– Energetic & Relavistic Nuclei & Electron Experiment • GOLF– Global Oscillatious at Low Frequencies

  4. Functions of Important Instruments • EIT– studies the low coronal structure and activity • ERNE – studies the ion and electron composition of the solar wind • GOLF -- measures velocity variations of the whole solar disk to explore the core of the sun

  5. SOHO

  6. Images taken with EIT at different wavelengths from 24 April 2014. The device is sensitive to these four wavelengths. EIT is built as a single telescope with a quadrant structure to the entrance mirrors: each quadrant reflects a different colour of EUV light, and the wavelength to be observed is selected by a shutter that blocks light from all but the desired quadrant of the main telescope.
