Abstract:
The CELIAS instrument is designed to study the composition of the Solar
Wind (SW) and of solar and interplanetary accelerated energetic
particles on SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory). It consists of
three different sensors with associated electronics, which are
optimized each for a particular aspect of ion composition. These
aspects are the elemental, isotopic, and ionic charge compostion of SW
or energetic ions emanating from the Sun. A fourth sensor, the Solar
EUV Monitor (SEM) was included into CELIAS for monitoring the absolute
EUV flux from the Sun.
