EUVI Synchronic Maps

The EUVI synchronic maps are heliographic projections of the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) solar corona recorded by the Extreme UltraViolet Imager (EUVI) telescope on the two STEREO spacecraft. Images acquired simultaneously (hence, synchronic maps) from the two EUVIs are projected onto a latitude vs. Carrington longitude grid to reveal the instantaneous coverage of the solar atmosphere provide by the STEREO imagers. We also provide synchronic maps from the combination of EUVI and the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) EUV images on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission. SDO/AIA records the solar corona from the Sun-Earth line thus increasing the simultaneous coverage of the solar corona when the STEREO spacecraft were at the far-side of the Sun (after about 2013) and especially after the interruption of the STEREO-B communications (since 10/2014). The map format is the same as for the EUVI-only maps.

Brief Introduction

Maps are produced in four EUV wavelengths representing different 'nominal' temperatures of the coronal plasma: ~80,000 Kelvin (304 Å), 1 million K (171Å), 1.4 million K (195Å), and 1.8 million K (284 Å). Note that AIA observes in 193Å. Currently, we provide four sets of synchronic maps with slightly different formats as explained below (the map ranges are also shown):

  • NRL EUVI Only: Carrington coordinates with 6-hour cadence. At the bottom of each frame, we display the actual EUVI-A and B images and the location of the spacecraft in the inner heliosphere. The product ends with the loss of STEREO-B in September 2014.
  • NRL EUV-AIA: Same as above with the addition of AIA.
  • JPL Carrington: Carrington coordinates with 12-hour cadence to match GONG and far-side HMI seismic maps. The product is mirrored from the JPL SECCHI site (see 'Similar Links' below).
  • JPL Carrington Sinlat: Same as above but with sinlat projection (0-360° in Carrington longitude; -90° to 90° in latitude with a sine-latitude y-axis). The product is mirrored from the JPL SECCHI site.
