Dear TRACE colleagues, although TRACE is approaching the winter eclipse season I would like to ask you for the TRACE support of the following g-b VTT/Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) observing campaign, if the eclipse season would permit such observations: - title: Spectroscopy of the quiet solar photosphere: properties of the shocks and location of the acoustic flux generation - period: 2006.11.16-2006.11.26 (16 days) - leader : Ales Kucera (akucera@astor.sk) - coordinator of the TRACE support: Jan Rybak (choc@astro.sk) - proposal: http://www.astro.sk/~choc/open/06_opticon_vtt/proposal/ kucera_vtt_2006_proposal.pdf - campaign approved and granted by the observing time of VTT: VTT schedule: http://www.kis.uni-freiburg.de/obsvtt/vttplan2006.pdf - targets: quit sun near the disk center or at mju~0.5, target selected day in advance according to actual situation on the Sun - procedure: - sequences of 1216 A images interrupted with a set of WL, 1600A, 1550A images every ~10 minutes for context, - exposure time specified using the automatic mode - 1024x1024 or 512x512 images - TRACE period requested: 18/11-26/11/2006 - TRACE time requested: each day from 08:00 till 12:00 UT if possible Operation of the campaign will be performed directly at Tenerife at the VTT but using my home email address choc@astro.sk. At first I have checked your TRACE future observing plans http://chippewa.nascom.nasa.gov/TRACE/current_plan.txt without any other program. Of course, except the winter eclipse season... Looking forward to hear from you whether you can support our g-b observations with your superb TRACE images again and with many thanks beforehand Jan Rybak 31/10/2006 ******************************************************************** * Jan Rybak tel. : ++421 52 7879 156 * * Astronomical Institute fax : ++421 52 4467 656 * * Slovak Academy of Sciences e-mail : choc@astro.sk * * 05960 Tatranska Lomnica WWW : http://www.astro.sk/~choc * * Slovak Republic * ********************************************************************
