White‐light streamer structure at 3.0 R, CR 1908–1913 (1996 April 8 through September 18). (a) East limb observations. (b) West limb observations. To construct these Carrington format maps, slices of east or west limb data were extracted from individual LASCO C2 images (recorded every 1–3 hours) and assembled into time‐reversed sequences spanning each Carrington rotation. The brightest (faintest) structures are indicated by black (white). Total intensities are shown, including both polarized and unpolarized components, but with an arbitrary background subtracted. In the east limb maps, the supporting pylon obstructs the field of view in a latitude band between ~30° south and ~60° south.
