| Abstract: |
The Extreme-UV Imaging telescope has already produced more than 15000 wide-field images of the corona and transition region, on the disk and up to 1.5R_⊙ above the limb, with a pixel size of 2.6\arcsec. By using four different emission lines, it provides the global temperature distribution in the quiet corona, in the range 0.5 to 3*E(6) K. Its excellent sensitivity and wide dynamic range allow unprecedented views of low emission features, even inside coronal holes. Those so-called ``quiet'' regions actually display a wide range of dynamical phenomena, in particular at small spatial scales and at time scales going down to only a few seconds, as revealed by all EIT time sequences of full- or partial-field images. The initial results presented here demonstrate the importance of this wide-field imaging experiment for a good coordination between SOHO and ground-based solar telescopes, as well as for science planning. |
