Dear TRACE colleagues, I would like to ask you for the TRACE support of the following g-b DOT/LaPalma (Canary Islands, Spain) observing campaign for which we apply also for the SOHO JOP at the same time. - title: Physical mechanisms driving solar microflares and supergranular network dynamics - relevance for coronal heating - period: 2007.08.03-2007.08.31 (28 days) - leader : Jan Rybak (choc@astro.sk) - proposal: http://www.astro.sk/~choc/open/07_dot/rybak_dot_proposal_2007.pdf - campaign page: http://www.astro.sk/~choc/open/07_dot/07_dot.html - campaign approved and granted by the observing time of DOT: see the DOT schedule: http://dot.astro.uu.nl/web-schedule2007.txt - 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 171 A images interrupted with a set of WL, 1600A, 1550A, 1216 images every ~10 minutes for context, - exposure time specified using the automatic mode - 1024x1024 images - TRACE period requested: 03/08-31/08/2007 - TRACE time requested: each day from 07:00 till 13:30 UT if possible At first I have checked your TRACE future observing plans at http://chippewa.nascom.nasa.gov/TRACE/current_plan.txt finding remarks on the following other programs: 05 - 18 Aug 2007: Filament/Cavity-CME-ICME IHY-CIP campaign POC:kathy reeves 27 Aug - 14 Oct 2007: JOP 178 will run sometime in this period w/VTT/SST/THEMIS POC:Brigitte Schmieder I hope that there will be a change to manage requirements of all programs to provide some time for each group. (On the other side, for some days we can cosider/decide to follow the target selected by other programs.) 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 16/05/2007 ******************************************************************** * 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 * ********************************************************************
