SCIUV Prominence Catalog
This webpage shows the prominences observed by SCIUV in 2023, 2024. In each movie, the images are rotated so that solar north is straight upward, and shifted so that solar center lies at the image center.
We recommend to preferentially use observations from April to September. During this interval, Earth is near aphelion. The smaller apparent solar disk allows the coronagraph occulter to block the solar disk more effectively, reducing the impacts of stray light and ghost images. However, observations in this period are affected by Earth’s shadow, resulting in partial data loss.
From January to March and from October to December, Earth is close to perihelion, and observational data suffer stronger contamination from stray light and ghost images.
