Definition

  • The Comprehensive Suprathermal and Energetic Particle Analyzer (COSTEP) on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) addresses scientific objectives related to the following phenomena: Steady state processes in the solar atmosphere Energy release and particle acceleration in the solar atmosphere o Long duration events o Impulsive events o Non flare-associated particle events Samples of solar atmospheric material o Large solar particle events o Elemental abundance of low-Z-elements o Isotopic abundances of H and HE o Small, 3HE-rich flares and impulsive kilovolt electron events Interplanetary medium o Travelling shock events o Corotating interaction regions o Particle propagation in interplanetary space The COSTEP sensors Low Energy Ion and Electron Instrument (LION) and Electron Proton Helium Instrument (EPHIN) allow a systematic investigation of these questions to be made by measuring energetic particles over a wide range of energies and for different particle species and combining this information with simultaneous observations from other experiments in the SOHO payload, on other satellites and with ground based observations.
