The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) is a joint ESA/NASA
mission to study the Sun, from its deep core to the outer corona,
and the solar wind. SOHO was launched on 2 December 1995 and was
inserted into a halo orbit around the L1 Lagrangian point on 14
February 1996. From this vantage point it is continuously
monitoring the Sun, the heliosphere, and the solar wind particles
that stream toward the Earth. Nominal operations of the SOHO
mission started in April 1996 after commissioning of the spacecraft
and the scientific payload. Detailed descriptions of the twelve
instruments, which represent the most comprehensive set of solar
and heliospheric instruments ever developed and placed on the same
platform, can be found in "The SOHO" "Mission" ("Solar Physics,"
Vol. 162, Nos. 1-2, 1995).
This volume contains papers reporting the first scientific results
from the SOHO mission as well as descriptions of the in-flight
performance of some of the instruments, published in two parts of a
"Solar Physics" special (Part I in "Solar Physics," Vol. 170, No.
1; Part II in "Solar Physics," Vol. 175, No. 2). Unique data from
the three helioseismology instruments (GOLF, VIRGO, MDI/SOI)
provide new insights into the structure and dynamics of the solar
interior, from the deep core to the outermost layers of the
convection zone. The remote sensing instruments (SUMER, CDS, EIT,
LASCO, UVCS, SWAN) present exciting new data on a wide range of
topics such as transition region dynamics, coronal plumes, coronal
holes, streamers, and coronal mass ejections, giving us our first
comprehensive view of the outer solar atmosphere and corona. These
data are complemented by energetic particle measurements produced
by the ERNE instrument on board SOHO.
