Observing the Solar Corona: A First Look from SDO
Leon Golub
"Observing the Solar Corona: A First Look from SDO"
The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) includes a set of telescopes called the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA).
The AIA provides full Sun images of the solar corona and its dynamics in ten different UV and EUV passbands, at a spatial
resolution comparable to that of our previous small Explorer satellite, the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE).
We will present a description of the scientific goals of the mission and an early look at the data from this experiment.
In keeping with NASA's policy, all of the images from SDO are freely available to the entire scientific community worldwide.
