CUNIT1A ’arcsec’ Angles in arcsec. Set by T2006 and A611. Arcsec is allowed by WCS.

CUNIT2A ’arcsec’ Angles in arcsec. Set by T2006 and A611. Arcsec is allowed by WCS.

CDELT1A 0.55 Plate scale (i.e. pixel size). Set by T2006. Here in arcsec as in A611.

CDELT2A 0.55 Plate scale (i.e. pizel size). Set by T2006. Here in arcsec as in A611.

CRVAL1A 0.0 Helioprojective x (solar x) coordinate of the reference pixel in arcsec. Set by T2006. Here in arcsec as in A611.

CRVAL2A 0.0 Helioprojective y (solar y) coordinate of the reference pixel in arcsec. Set by T2006. Here in arcsec as in A611.

CTYPE5 ’TIME’ This is in relation to REF_TIME, per frame. Time found in TIME_TAG under extension TIMEVAR.

CUNIT5 ’s’ Unit for fifth axis. Seconds in relation to REF_TIME, per frame. Time found in TIME_TAG under extension TIMEVAR. Normally preceding midnight.

DSUN_OBS 147296035413.001 Distance between observer and Sun in meters. Set by T2006 and A611 with A611 precision.

RSUN_REF 696000000.0 Radius of the Sun in meters. Set by T2006 and A611 with A611 precision.

RSUN_OBS 6.96e8 Observed radius of the Sun in arcsec. Set by T2006 and A611 with tabled A611 precision.

HGLN_OBS 0 Heliographic longitude of the observer, in degrees. Set by T2006 and A611.

HGLT_OBS −0.47 Stonyhurst heliographic latitude of the observer, in degrees (in this coordinate set identical to the classical “B0”). Set by T2006 and A611.

SOLAR_P 11.6872 Degrees. "rotate image by -solar P angle to get solar north up". Set by A611.
