Solar X-ray and Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (X-EUVI) loaded onto China’s Fengyun-3E Satellite

Abstract

Abstract The solar X-ray and Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (X-EUVI), which was developed by CIOMP, is China’s first space-based solar X-ray and Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) imager; it has been loaded onto the Fengyun-3E Satellite, which is supported by the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), for solar observation. It commenced working on July 11, 2021, and was used to obtain the first X-ray and EUV images in China. X-EUVI employs an innovation dual band design to monitor a much larger temperature range across the Sun, covering the 0.6–8.0 nm wavelength band of the X-ray region and the 19.5 nm band of the EUV region.
