The attention of SUMER planners and JOP/Campaign leaders was drawn to the difficulties to perform numerous complex programs during the week-end and Monday 17. The whole SUMER loading must be done on Friday afternoon (no commanding/loading during the week-end). The number and the complexity of programs must be reduced accordingly. We were informed by Laura about the return to action of CELIAS MTOF. Their Proton Monitor WWW Page is back-on-line : http://umtof.umd.edu/pm/ Reports on present observations : --------------------------------- SUMER : JOP17 : S VI and Lyman profiles with new slit : OK JOP96 : OK JOP104 : small area bright in (probably) forbidden lines around 834 A; extended emission at 854 and 856 A CDS : OK for all JOPs. EIT : CME Watch showed some out-of-limb activity in the NE quadrant. Not much activity around AR 8534. Coronal Hole in the SE quadrant close to cross the central meridian ? Kitt Peak : Tom Ayres reports from Kitt Peak : "we completed our scanning at 19UT, under clear skies, very light haze (particulates from the surrounding valley desert), and calm conditions...quite excellent in my experience. the equipment worked well, and a new IR filter in the camera system has significantly improved S/N (by suppressing thermal emission from out-of-band wavelengths). the forecast is for continuing clear skies. we are hoping for a repeat tomorrow of the excellent seeing we had earlier in day, when we began scanning. the good seeing is important for the contextual images we take in CaK to allow us to register our frames to SUMER and TRACE. our disks are overflowing with data at the moment, but fortunately we don't have the "telemetry" constraints under which SUMER must operate!" Friday May 14: ------------------ The target for JOP17 (AR 8534) has been confirmed by Lidia VanDriel and Nicole Mein. (Note that CDS and SUMER follow this target all through the morning). * CDS (Synoptic + engineering) 00-8.00 UT * 00-06 UT JOP 104, X-ray jets from limb active regions (#5735), SUMER,TRACE, YOHKOH SXT, Tenerife Contact: Davina Innes (innes@linax1.mpae.gwdg.de) (without CDS) X = - 855, Y = +585 arcsec * Moreton Waves Program (#5775).
