Title | SERTS Rocket Underflight |
Begin Date | 1999/06/24 |
End Date | 1999/06/24 |
JOP Number | ICAL06 |
Instruments | SXT; SERTS (rocket); TRACE; CDS; SUMER; CELIAS; EIT; Big Bear (GBO); Meudon (GBO) |
Campaign Leader | Roger Thomas; Barbara Thompson; Jeff Brosius |
Purpose | DEM observations, EUV calibration |
Comments | We have selected X = -450 arcsec, Y = +300 arcsec as the center of the 4 arcmin by 4 arcmin CDS field of view for the SERTS flight on June 24. The SERTS roll angle will be 90 degrees, i.e., the slit will be perpendicular to the solar rotation axis. SERTS spectra and spectroheliograms will be obtained at three different, parallel pointings, each separated by 90 arcsec. (Thus the maximum separation between parallel slit pointings will be 3 arcmin.) Ideally, all three slit positions will lie within the CDS, EIT, TRACE, and SXT fields of view. During SERTS launch, SSR will be in record for CDS, 16:15-17:55 UT. One final note about the SERTS pointing for June 24, in case it was not clear from the earlier message: the three SERTS pointing positions will be offset from one another by 90 arcsec in the North-South direction, i.e., perpendicular to our East-West slit orientation. Thus the horizontal slit will twice undergo a 90 arcsec vertical translation during the flight. The center of the 4 arcmin by 4 arcmin CDS field of view remains X = -450 arcsec, Y = +300 arcsec, which corresponds to about 20 degrees North and 30 degrees East. |

Instruments | SXT; TRACE; Kitt Peak (GBO); Sac Peak (GBO); Mees (GBO) |
Campaign Leader | Sarah Gibson; David Alexander; Vincenzo Andretta |
Purpose | Due to the unfortunate loss of communications with SOHO, the Second Whole Sun Month Campaign was reduced to a Whole Sun Fortnight (WSF) Campaign. Detailed magnetic field observations (JOP 81) went on much as originally planned. Each day there was coordinated observations between 1400 and 2400 UT in order to take advantage of the time of greatest overlap of magnetic field observations. Depending on solar conditions, each day a different "Target of the Day" (TOD) was chosen from among the following: Active regions (JOP 84) Coronal holes Filament channel (connected to decaying active region) As well as the TOD observations between 1400 and 2400 UT, observations that did not temporally overlap the magnetic field observations (NOO for non-overlap observations) were made for all three targets during the WSF period. Coordinated IPS observations were made throughout the originally scheduled WSM2 period (August 1-28). |

Purpose | To determine T, density and v as a function of time in prominences and surrounding. To check the Siphon model of Poland and Mariska |
Comments | NOTE: This campaign was carried out jointly with campaign # 6 (JOP017); check that record as well. Daily observations from 08:00 - 13:00 UT It is difficult to forcast the presence of a prominence 24 hours before. Due to that we observed small prominences on June 5 and 6. / EIT: 304 2 min cadence June 4-9 / |

Purpose | (1) Sunspot gyroresonance stereoscopy (2)Temperature and density structure of active regions (3)Temperature and density structure of quiet corona |
Comments | Except 05/25, daily observations over 10 hours (15-01 UT). Because the Sun was absolutely quiet (no sunspots, no active regions), the scientific objective (3) was pursued. // EIT_support:synoptic_only_25th_and_26th |
Title | Filling Factors of Hot Coronal Loops |
Begin Date | 1996/05/13 |
End Date | 1996/05/16 |
JOP Number | Campaign |
Instruments | SXT: Serge Savy and Hugh Hudson CDS:Richard Harrison, Andrzej Fludra; SUMER:Klaus Wilhelm, John Mariska; EIT |
Campaign Leader | James Klimchuk |
Purpose | To determine the filling factors of hot (> 1 MK) coronal loops. Such filling factors are important for understanding coronal heating. A secondary objective is to evaluate the meaning of filter ratio temperatures measured by the SXT on Yohkoh, given that the observed plasma is unlikely to be isothermal along the line-of-sight. |
Comments | An active region complex was observed on the disk and at the limb. The data seem adequate for the filling factor measurements. // EIT_support:synoptic |
