 abstract of observational proposal
Main Objective:
Polar coronal holes are an important source of fast solar wind. X-ray observations with the Hinode satellite have shown that solar X-ray jets frequently occur in polar coronal holes, and they are garnering attention because they might supply material to, and drive disturbances in, the fast solar wind. Recently, it has been found that most of solar X-ray jets are associated with the eruption of small filaments composed of relatively cool plasma. This raises the possibility erupting filaments supply a significant amount of mass to the fast solar wind. We have developed a method for estimating the mass of cool plasma from the data in mm-wave/UV/EUV/X-rays emission and have succeeded in obtaining the mass of cool plasma erupted from an X-ray bright point. Here we request the joint observations of ALMA-Hinode-IRIS for hunting polar jets in polar coronal holes, in order to estimate the mass contributed by associated cool erupting filaments to the fast solar wind.

Scientific Justification:
To hunt polar jets, we use the observing plan for HOP81. The HOP81 is very suitable for observing polar jets, and its observing program has already been proofed by monthly observations.

 remarks
Dates: Solar observations with ALMA in Cycle 5 will be carried out in April 2018. The exact date of my observation is not fixed yet. I will send you the date & time when I receive the observing date from ALMA observatory.

Time window: The total observing duration of my ALMA observation is 6 hours. I hope that Hinode supports the observing time.

Target(s) of interest: Jets occurred in polar coronal hole.
