Contact: Dr. Helmut Steinle (hcs@mpe.mpg.de) BATSE, OSSE, COMPTEL cover 50 keV to 30 MeV. EGRET in standby mode to observe the Sun at 50 MeV to GeV, if a strong solar flare occurs (is predicted). * 5 April - 23 May: CDS and UVCS CME Watch (#5690), EOF: Kuen Ko * Target of Opportunity for April: JOP083: High Cadence Activity Studies and the Heating of Coronal Loops. (#5625), CDS/EIT/TRACE, POC: Robert Walsh & Jack Ireland Submodes: Submode 6 all week. Planners for Week 15: CDS -- Bill Thompson MDI -- Emily Zamkoff EIT -- Barbara Thompson SUMER -- Not observing. LASCO -- Ops Team UVCS -- N. Atkins TRACE -- Jake Wolfson + Dawn Myers Relevant Notes -------------- CDS Running JOP100 on Monday with VLA. Running JOP099 on Tuesday and Wednesday. Doing GIS engineering on Thursday. Running CME watch with UVCS on Friday. The period between the daily synoptic and the afternoon activities is currently target of opportunity--may be JOP083 with TRACE on Monday. Over the weekend running normal weekend explosive events and off-limb studies. On Saturday, running CME watch with UVCS. Sunday running full-disk irradiance study. UVCS Continue CME watch until Monday. Tuesday's Lyman alpha calibration may go into Friday. CME watch Friday, Saturday, Sunday. However, plans may change for weekend. LASCO Running normal synoptic C2/C3. EIT Monday, doing extra subfields every 2 hours during JOP100. Target is AR8508 unless otherwise notified. MDI Running dynamics. TRACE Aside from JOP 099, early in the week doing flare watching and engineering. Thursday, Friday observing full AR belt in high cadence. Saturday starting two-week AR campaign with SXT, etc.
