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.
