The CELIAS particle experiment on SOHO contains the Charge Time Of
Flight (CTOF)
mass spectrometer which measures the ionic and elemental composition
of minor ions in the solar wind. In this paper we present
iron freeze-in temperatures derived with a time resolution of 5 min.
They indicate that some of the filamentary structures of the
inner corona observed in H alpha survive in the interplanetary
medium as far as 1 AU.
