TL;DR: The Sun Earth Connection Coronal and Heliospheric Investigation (SECCHI) is a five telescope package, which has been developed for the Solar Terrestrial Relation Observatory (STEREO) mission.

TL;DR: The Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) as mentioned in this paper was designed to probe the solar atmosphere through the detection of spectral emission lines in the extreme ultraviolet wavelength range 150-800 A. By observing the intensities of selected lines and line profiles, the authors derived temperature, density, flow and abundance information for the plasmas in the solar ionosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coordinate systems for solar image data
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of formal systems for describing the coordinates of solar image data is proposed, and a formal system for incorporation of these coordinates into FITS files, based on the FITS World Coordinate System, is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synopsis of the interstellar He parameters from combined neutral gas, pickup ion and UV scattering observations and related consequences

TL;DR: In this article, a coordinated effort to combine all three methods that are used to determine the physical parameters of interstellar gas in the heliosphere has been undertaken, and a consistent parameter set that agrees with the observations of neutral gas, pickup ions and UV backscattering has been obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
EUV Wave Reflection from a Coronal Hole
Nat Gopalswamy,S. Yashiro,Manuela Temmer,Joseph M. Davila,William T. Thompson,Shaela I. Jones,R. T. J. McAteer,Jean-Pierre Wuelser,Samuel L. Freeland,Russell A. Howard +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the detection of EUV wave reflection from a coronal hole, as observed by the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory mission, was reported, and the reflected waves were generally slower than the direct wave.
