| SUMMARY: | This is a target-of-opportunity plan which will be carried out simultaneously with SOHO/TRACE JOP106 during Whole Sun Month #3 (WSM3) (Aug 18 - Sept 14, 1999) when/if a sigmoidal active region (sigmoid) appears during that time period. The purpose of the Max Millennium plan is to add flare observations to the already-planned WSM3 multi-wavelength active-region observations, which will document the topology of the preflare and postflare active region as well as possible. The goal of the flare observations is to determine where in this evolving topology particle acceleration and energy release take place. If flare observations are successfully obtained, coordinated analysis of the flare data will be the focus of a Max Millennium Coordinated Data Analysis Workshop. |

The four authors will collaborate for target
selection, and welcome input from all participants. Sarah Gibson will be
responsible for WSM3 plans, and Dick Canfield for Max Millennium. Independent
announcements will be made via both the Max Millennium MOTD e-mail list
and the WSM e-mail list. To subscribe to the Max Millennium MOTD
list, go to the Max Millennium E-mail
and Hypermail page. To subscribe to the WSM3 list, contact Sarah
Gibson (sg273@damtp.cam.ac.uk.)
