Hinode was doing focussed mode operations over the Christmas period.
These are 7-day plans that run from Tuesday to Tuesday. I was
responsible for the plan covering 23-30 December.
At the start of the period there were two regions producing flares: AR 12242 and AR 12241. Both regions were close to the west limb, and I estimated that they would be 10 degrees longitude behind the limb at 24-Dec 24:00, and 26-Dec 18:00, respectively. We thus scheduled observations of each until these times.
Since the ARs were at the limb when we observed them, I scheduled
Tongjiang Wang's off-limb flare studies for most of the time. From
Helioviewer movies it looks like the only interesting activity occurred
around 24 UT on 23-Dec.
For the period 26-Dec 18:00 to 28-Dec 18:00 we observed the boundary
of the south coronal hole. The coronal hole seems to have opened up
after we planned the observation and the data should be very good.
The plan began with Atlas_60 on AR 12242 at 10:21. I then ran the following:
hot_loop_osc_1_v4, 13:00, 5h 55m
hot_loop_osc_2_v4, 18:15, 11h 50m [possible C6 flare at 24 UT]
hot_loop_osc_1_v4, 06:31, 10h 9m
hot_loop_osc_2_v4, 18:17, 5h 38m
Christmas Day began with a change of pointing to AR 12241 and the following studies:
hot_loop_osc_1_v4, 00:05, 5h 47m
hot_loop_osc_2_v4, 06:03, 11h 42m
hot_loop_osc_1_v4, 18:06, 7h 37m
issi_jet_1, 18:08, 12h 21m
Coronal hole monitoring continued:
issi_jet_1, 06:41, 11h 20m
issi_jet_1, 18:27, 11h 20m
Coronal hole monitoring continued:
issi_jet_1, 06:13, 11h 20m
North and east limb alignment studies were run from 18:10 to 22:10.
No science studies performed.
