The Large Angle Spectroscopic Coronagraph consists of three
coronagraphs which image the solar corona from 1.1 to 32 solar radii. It is
one of 12 instruments aboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory
( SOHO).
C1 was a spectral imager of the low corona, with a field of view
from 1.1 to 3 solar radii. It is no
longer operating, ceasing to deliver data around June, 1998.
C2 and
C3 are white light imagers, with fields of view from 1.5 to 6 solar radii
(C2) and 3.7 to 30 solar radii (C3). Reference:
