SOHO Daily Meeting Minutes for Wednesday 26 November 2003 ANNOUNCEMENTS ------------- * The current RHESSI default target is AR10507. When selecting this target to maximize coordination w/others, use campaign number 6850. * Due to the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, there will be no SOC in the EOF on Thursday. A student worker will be at the SOC desk from ~11am to ~6pm on the holiday. There will be a SOC here on Friday. No planning meetings in the EOF on Thursday or Friday. MEDOC planning meeting minutes will be emailed to the minutes list.

Past observations (on tuesday 25): --------------------------------- The prominence of the AR501 as been successfully observed in the frame of the JOP124, by CDS and SUMER. The SUMER slit has been moved at the right position in real time yesterday at 13:40 UT. SUMER observed around 1:30 UT a piece of a cold loop which let its signature in He I and C III lines, as a bright point in the spectra. The Ulysses-SOHO quadrature observations + the flare study on AR501 revealed no major event.
