WEEKLY MEETING MINUTES for week 45 November 3 - 9, 1997 Announcement (from EOF): ------------------------ Due to a slip in the Lunar Prospector launch: -- MDI's "best-effort month" of 90 days continuous is the last month (March); and the "required" months are January and February. -- Also means that the December maneuvers have been moved to early December, (perhaps around December 5-8 timeframe -- this is still to be determined..) rather than late December ~ 29/30 as was previously planned. Report of the weekly meeting held at MEDOC on October 31, 1997 --------------------------------------------------------------- - Presentation and discussion of the various JOPs and observations proposed for this week. * Jop009 (filament - prominence study; updated version) * Jop067 (blobs of plasma in equatorial streamers) * UVCS Plan: Structure and dynamics of the streamer/coronal hole interface Lines: Lya, Lyb, OVI 1032,1037, FeXII 1242, SiXII 499,521, SX 1196 Radial scan of the West limb from 1.5 to 4 Rsun at given colatitudes (one per day, PA from 240 to 300 deg) * Jop038 (bright points) with this JOP is connected the program proposed by V. Zharkova for the observation of bright points and active region in Lyman series lines (wings) and Lyman continuum * Jop036 (nonequilibrium ionization test) * GIP 'Cool loops' (G. Peres) * GIP 'Episodic heating' (F. Reale) * BACH (Boundary and Abundances in Coronal Holes) SUMER/CDS * Red-shifts in the transition region (S. Patsourakos) SUMER/CDS On Wednesday and Thursday, EIT will run a CME Watch in both 195 and 171 A for eight hours each day (14:00 - 22:00 UT)". **Schedule of coordinated operations** M Nov 3 (W45) * GIP on Cool Loops (G. Peres) CDS/SUMER/EIT -CDS will observe from 17:30 to 19:30 UT @ 785";258" -EIT will start the observation at 18:00 pointing at 790";258" -EIT will perform the full disk images at 19:00 UT and then it will turn back to the Cool Loops sequence until 21:00 UT -SUMER will observe from 18:30 to 19:30 UT, initially pointing to 790";258" Repointing of SUMER is planned according to EIT images * JOP036 Nonequilibrium ionization test (D. Spadaro) CDS/SUMER/EIT Performed by SUMER and CDS from 19:30 to 20:30 UT, observing the same region selected for the GIP on Cool Loops EIT will support JOP36 with the same sequence as Cool Loops GIP until 21:00 UT * GIP on Episodic Heating (F. Reale) CDS/SUMER/EIT 20:30 - 24:00 UT -CDS will observe during all the window, with rotation compensation -EIT will participate from 21:00 to 24:00 UT with the same sequence as Jop066 -SUMER will try to observe for some time T Nov 4 *Jop067 (8.00 - 16.00 UT) followed by Jop009 (16.00 - 24.00 UT) EIT and UVCS Support W Nov 5 *GIP 'Cool Loops' Jop36 GIP 'Episodic Heating' - on active region at the north western limb 13:00 - 19 :00 UT, without EIT support T Nov 6 *Jop038, in connection with the program of V. Zharkova (15.00 - 24.00 UT) F Nov 7 *BACH program (test) *GIP 'Cool loops' Jop036 GIP 'episodic heating' on active region at the south western limb 18:00 - 24:00 UT, with EIT support S Nov 8 *Jop067 (08.00 - 16.00 UT) followed by Jop009 (16.00 - 24.00 UT) EIT and UVCS Support *BACH program S Nov 9 *Jop038, in connection with V. Zharkova's program (15.00 - 24 .00 UT) with EIT support (15.00 - 16.00 UT) *BACH program (Time TBD) *JOP9 (Time TBD)
