STEREO SECCHI Cor2: Solar Polarization Images at 1-Hour Cadence

STEREO SECCHI Cor2 telescopes provide percent polarized data of the Sun's corona at a cadence of approximately one hour. The images are full resolution at 2048 by 2048 pixels and are generally available within about three days of observation. The data is produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyze solar coronal polarization based on percent polarized data
• Study temporal changes in the corona based on the 1-hour cadence
• Process high-resolution solar imagery based on the 2048² pixel resolution

Strengths

• Images are full resolution at 2048 by 2048 pixels
• Data is generally available within about three days of observation

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
