The Extreme Ultraviolet Imager of the
STEREO SECCHI instrument (EUVI) will observe the photospheric magnetic
field, chromosphere, and innermost corona. It is akin to the Extreme
ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) on the Solar and Heliospheric
Observatory (SOHO) satellite mission. The image to the left is from
SOHO EIT Fe XII (195 Å) bandpass.
In our sample scenario, STEREO A sees an eruption on the eastern (left) limb in the EUVI image. At the same time, STEREO B sees... |

The inner coronograph of the STEREO
SECCHI instrument (COR1) will observe the solar corona over the range
1.1 - 3.0 solar radii. It is akin to the LASCO C2 coronograph on the
Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) satellite mission. The image
to the left is from LASCO C2.
STEREO A sees an eastern (left) limb CME in the coronagraph image At the same time, STEREO B sees... |

The outer coronograph of the STEREO
SECCHI instrument (COR2) will observe the solar corona over the range 2
- 15 solar radii. It is akin to the LASCO C3 coronograph on the Solar
and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) satellite mission. The image to the
left is from LASCO C3.
STEREO A sees the limb CME moving out into the heliosphere, toward STEREO B At the same time, STEREO B sees.. |
