Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We analyze a coronal helmet streamer observed on 1996 July 25 using instruments aboard two solar spacecraft, the Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS) on board Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and the Soft X-Ray Telescope (SXT) on board Yohkoh. We derive temperatures and electron densities at 1.15 R from SXT/Yohkoh observations. At this height, the streamer temperature is about log T (K) = 6.28 ± 0.05, and the electron density is about log n(cm) = 8.09 ± 0.26, while at 1.5 R a temperature of log T (K) = 6.2 and a density of log n(cm) = 7.1 are obtained by UVCS/SOHO. Within the measurement uncertainty this suggests a constant temperature from the base of the streamer to 1.5 R. Electron density measurements suggest that the gas in the streamer core is close to hydrostatic equilibrium. Comparison with potential field models for the magnetic field suggests a plasma β larger than 1 in the closed-field region in the streamer. In deriving electron densities and temperatures from the SXT/Yohkoh data, we include the effects of abundance anomalies on the SXT filter response. We use the elemental abundances derived from the UVCS/SOHO observations to estimate the first ionization potential and gravitational settling effects. We then give the set of abundances for the solar corona, which agrees with our observations. In addition, we analyzed the SXT data from 6 consecutive days. We found that from 1996 July 22 to July 27, the physical properties of the streamer are nearly constant. We conclude that we may be observing the same loop system over 6 days. © 1998.
