 abstract of observational proposal
Main Objective: Observation of a prominence and/or an active region at the limb as seen from Solar Orbiter

Scientific Justification:
Prominence Observations:
・ Determine composition of prominences in order to test prominence formation mechanisms
・ Evaluate the prominence column depth and related structure.
・ Measure the small scale structure and dynamics of prominences, to better understand formation and energy transport in prominences.
Active Region: To understand energy release in solar active regions.

 request to SOT
If the AR is on disk, as viewed from Hinode, then several 320"x164", 230"x164", or 164"x164" fast maps are requested, depending on the size of the AR target, repeated as many times as telemetry allows.

 request to XRT
CME Watch program with Al-poly and thin-Be.  Flare mode should be enabled.

 request to EIS
---(2024)
Studies:  Study #404 Atlas_60 for context followed by study #582 HOP81_new_study

---(2023)
EIS - a general purpose raster would be used to provide 3D context and flow information.
For a prominence coronal temperature lines can also give information about continuum absorption.
Active Region observations to provide DEMs, loop structure and flows.
