C/2023 F2 (SOHO), also known as SOHO-4658, is a sungrazing comet that was discovered by Chinese astronomer, Hanjie Tan, from images taken by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory on 20 March 2023. Observational history
The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) is a European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft built by a European industrial consortium led by Matra Marconi Space (now Airbus Defence and Space) that was launched on a Lockheed Martin Atlas IIAS launch vehicle on 2 December 1995, to study the Sun. It has also discovered more than 5,000 comets. [2]

The Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory satellite (SOHO) consists of three solar coronagraphs with nested fields of view: [1] C1 - a Fabry–Pérot interferometer coronagraph imaging from 1.1 to 3 solar radii, non-functional since the 24 June 1998 SOHO Mission Interruption [2]
But solar storms, solar flares and coronal mass ejections routinely impact Earth's weather. They also impact the space weather where nearly 7,800 satellites, including more than 50 from India, are ...
The camera images are co-aligned to within 0.03 pixel RMS, requiring precise measurement of the optical distortion of each lens system. Point spread function effects, such as optical coma , are identified and removed in the PUNCH data reduction pipeline; [ 12 ] and minor photometric errors introduced by data compression are also tracked and ...
