SECCHI Time-Elongation Plots
Below are time-elongation plots built up from SECCHI running difference
images, known colloquially by some as "J-plots". Coronal mass ejections
(CMEs) are seen as diagonal bright and dark bands running from lower-left to
upper-right. The steepness of the band reflects the speed of the CME.
Occasionally one can also see planets or bright stars as streaks in the
plots.
These plots are built up from the SECCHI beacon images. The STEREO space
weather beacon telemetry mode is a very low rate, highly compressed data stream
broadcast by the spacecraft 24 hours per day. These data are used for space
weather forecasting. Because of the large compression factors used, these
beacon images are of much lower quality than the actual science data.
