Dates: 1. ToO program from Aug 11 to Aug 19, since we have observing time with SST 2-3. We will alert the planners if a suitable target is available and propose pointing coordinates. Supersonic downflows are a backup program in case only non-flaring active regions are available
Time window: Good seeing at SST most often occurs from 7.30-11.30 UT. Please schedule observations for this time range and in case of telemetry issues, prioritize 8-10 UT. SST will carry out a flare-watch program from 11.30-17 UT. Should a promising active region be available, we would very much appreciate any co-observations (even low data rate) that may be possible also from 11.30-17 UT. Short synoptic interruptions are allowed.
Target(s) of interest: Flares, i.e. complex active regions. ToO, we will alert planners if a suitable AR is available. Ideally, please position the slit across the neutral line or at leased crossing it (IRIS). Our backup program are supersonic AR downflows, for which we would ask to target the ends of AR loops that are visible in AIA 171.
Additional remarks: Time window for good seeing at SST: 7.30-11.30 UT.
SST will do a flare watch program from 11.30-17 UT, any low-data rate co-observation of IRIS and Hinodewould be very appreciated in case flaring active regions are present.
Hinode planners: please start the observation at the end of orbital night, and finish at the beginning of orbital night to maximize telemetry.
Previous HOPs: None from current PI from Co-Is: HOP 251 (several publications seen below), HOP 310 (lack of solar flares)
