Abstract:
Full-disk, solar EUV irradiances obtained by the CELIAS/SEM instrument aboard
SOHO (in halo orbit at L-1) will be presented. All absolute fluxes presented
have been normalized to the values at 1 AU. Solar EUV irradiances have been
and are being continuously monitored during the solar cycle 23 minimum in two
wavelength bands obtained by the CELIAS/SEM transmission grating spectrometer.
The first-order band centered at the prominent solar He II emission line at 30
.4 nm is being monitored with an 8.0 nm band pass. The spectrometer's central
-order monitors a broad wavelength band that covers a range from soft X-rays
at about 0.1 nm to 77 nm in the EUV. Detailed analyses show that 35% of the
central order signal is from the 0.1 to 8 nm wavelength region, 65% of the
signal is from 15 to 50 nm, and less than 1% is from outside these two bands.
The CELIAS/SEM data to be presented show significant long-term solar cycle and
short-term intensity variations during this period.
