Planning week 28 July - 4 August 2025This is a focused planning week with a single, 7-day OP that occurred during the eclipse season. Going into the week the Sun was fairly quiet. The base GOES level was C1, and AR 14494 had produced two M-flares. It was the default target for the first half of the plan. The only AR on the east half of the Sun was the quiet 14496 so this was the default target for 1 August onwards. The only HOP was HOP 539, which was coordinated with the IBIS-2 instrument at THEMIS on 29-31 July.
Tuesday 28 JulI front-loaded the plan with studies on AR 14494. The sit-and-stare study HOP021VEL001x512v2 was scheduled for three orbits at 12:58, 14:36 and 16:18 UT. The two flares before the plan started were at a small, north-south filament so I placed the slit over it. The spectral atlas Atlas_60 was run at 19:33, and the large raster DHB_007_v5 at 21:09. The global waves detection study HPW024_266fullccd10s (a new addition to the regular EIS studies) was run at 22:46. I pointed it to the north of 14494. Wednesday 29 JulHPW024_266fullccd10s was run again at 00:30 UT. DHB_007_v5 was also run again at 02:00. This began a sequence of repeats every 12 hours (approx). Note that the FOV included the nearby AR 14495. The sequence was in case the region was connected to the solar wind and thus the abundances might be interesting. HOP 539 was supported with DHB_007_v5 at 06:54 and 08:32 UT on AR 14496. HPW024_266fullccd10s was run on 14494 at 12:00 UT, followed by DHB_007_v5 at 13:27 UT. Thursday 30 JulDHB_007_v5 was run on 14494 at 00:53 UT. HOP 539 was supported with DHB_007_v5 at 07:26 and 09:04 UT on AR 14496. DHB_007_v5 was run on 14494 at 13:58 UT. Friday 31 JulDHB_007_v5 was run on 14494 at 01:25 UT. HOP 539 was supported with DHB_007_v5 at 07:57 UT on AR 14496. DHB_007_v5 was run on 14494 at 14:29 UT. Saturday 1 AugDHB_007_v5 was run on 14494 at 01:56 UT. It was then run on 14496 (the new default target) at 06:50 UT. This began a sequence of observing 14496 once every day. Sunday 2 AugThe Hinode alignment program was supported with Alignment_modify_v3 at 00:49 UT (north limb) and 02:27 UT (east limb). The weekly spectral atlas, Atlas_60, was run above the east limb at 07:21 UT. DHB_007_v5 was run on 14496 at 10:38 UT. Monday 3 AugDHB_007_v5 was run on 14496 at 07:53 UT. Tuesday 4 AugDHB_007_v5 was run on 14496 at 06:46 UT. Page maintained by Dr Peter R Young. |
