abstract of observational proposal

CORONAS PHOTON has eclipse free observations for several weeks roughly every three months. During these periods important co-observing can be made between Hinode and the TESIS suite of instruments. The coordinated observations described here involve 171A, 304A, 8.42A and 132A imaging observations as well as SphinX x-ray spectrophotometer data.

The goals of the upcoming (Oct 3-21 2009) observations depend on the solar conditions.

If there is an AR on the disk, Hinode will be tracking the AR continuously. XRT will reserve telemetry for a 4hr high cadence program using our medium thick filters to study the structure and dynamics of micro-flares.

If there is a large XBP a similar program will be run, looking for hot transient plasma in the XBP. This program can only run shortly after a timeline upload, as the XBP lifetime is only ~ 1day for a suitable candidate.

If there is no suitably large XBP then 4hrs of disk center (or tracking across disk center) is requested. The program will be to search for hot plasma in the QS. Again MgXII (8.4A) is key for identifying and constraining the high temperature component.

request to SOT

AR on disk: Standard AR program, coordinate SP magnetograms to be taken during or near the TESIS joint observing program.

AR at the limb: CaII and H-alpha observations to define the chromospheric boundary and identify any prominence material. Cadence of 1-10 minutes for the duration of the observation period (~4hrs) would be sufficient.

Large XBP: NFI magnetograms during the TESIS coordination

Disk Center: No request
