This campaign is linked with SOHO JOP098. CDS and MDI have preliminarily agreed to support our JOP starting from June 15. A new CDS observing sequence will observe the target active region with a 3 by 3 arcmin field of view, with 4 arcsecond resolution, at just less than ten minute cadence. The lines presently selected are FeXIX, FeXVI, MgIX, OV and HeI, which give us a view of the high temperature corona down to the chromosphere. EIT will provide full Sun FeXII synoptic imaging. |
|
Standard observing modes with SXT and HXT providing thermal and
nonthermal
plasma diagnostics and 3D structural evolution, as well as high-energy electron parameters during flares. |
|
Will utilize the flare response sequence and observe the flare in either solely Lyman Alpha or CIV. Early in the campaign, the line to be used in CIV. Later, after some flares have been successfully observed, observations will be done in Lyman Alpha. Lyman Alpha combined with Halpha and Hard X-ray data will allow some interesting science on flare energetics. Interspersing of the CIV/Lalpha sequence with some EUV images every ten minutes for contextual and co-alignment purposes (must check feasibility). |
Target selection will be announced by e-mail daily by 18:00 UT for
the
day following, using the Max Millennium MOTD list.
