EIT Images of the EUV Solar Atmosphere
Abstract
The Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) was one of several instruments launched on board SOHO on 1995 Dec 2. It has already produced thousands of wide-field images of the low corona at 4 wavelengths (171, 195, 284 and 304 Å). These wavelengths correspond to different emission lines, formed over a wide range of plasma temperatures. The first EIT images and movies reveal how this sensitive instrument will provide unprecedented information about the dynamics of small scale phenomena in the quiet solar corona and inside coronal holes. Results of a local deconvolution method, used to correct a grid pattern present in raw EIT images, are also presented.
