Why?
FP7 HELCATS (1
st
May 2014 ─ 1
st May 2017)
Capitalises
on European expertise in
heliospheric
imaging (esp. STEREO) - also exploiting
the wealth of European experience in solar
and coronal imaging and the interpretation of in-situ
and radio measurements of solar wind phenomena
.Coordinated effort to produce a unique benchmark study of transients in the heliosphere, their sources and impacts, including assessment of models and methods

What?
The
general aims of HELCATS
are to:
catalogue transient (CME) and background (CIR/SIR) structures imaged in the heliosphere by STEREO/HI, including estimated kinematic properties from established and speculative techniques;
verify these
kinematic properties, hence assessing the validity of the techniques, by comparing with solar source/coronal observations,
and in-situ measurements at multiple points in the heliosphere;
assess the potential for initialising advanced numerical models based on the derived kinematic properties of both the transient
and background solar wind; assess the complementarity of combining heliospheric imagery with radio-based methods to detect structures and diagnose processes in the heliosphere (IPS and Type II radio bursts);
provide the scientific
community with easy access to HELCATS catalogues and methodologies, enabling
a much wider exploitation and understanding of heliospheric imaging observations. Slide15
