Planning week 04 - 11 Jan 2020


This is a regular planning week with three uploads. The week began with AR 12755 (a high-latitude cycle 25 AR) heading towards the central meridian. GOES was only at the B1 level, though. The south coronal hole was quite large, with an extension running alongside the AR.

Key observations were:

  • AR 12755 was tracked across the disk with the HPW021 study for all seven days
  • A PSP connection test was run from 5-10 January.



Saturday 04 January (OP1)

For OP1 I scheduled HPW021VEL260x512v2 at regular intervals through the 3-day plan. On Saturday there were rasters at 11:08 and 18:15 UT.

We supported an ALMA observation of Alexander Nindos from 12:30 to 17:00 using 14 pointings of AN_ALMA_EIS_s01v01. UPDATE: the ALMA observation was canceled.

Sunday 05 January (OP1)

AR tracking continued with HPW021VEL260x512v2 at 00:35 and 18:50 UT.

During HOP 349 (XRT disk center synoptic) I scheduled the spectral atlas study Atlas_60 at 02:12 UT.

The PSP connection test observation was supported by running Large_CH_Map at 06:55, 08:30 and 10:10 UT.

The ALMA observation was repeated between 12:30 to 17:00. UPDATE: the ALMA observation was canceled.

Monday 06 January (OP1)

AR tracking continued with HPW021VEL260x512v2 at 01:00 and 19:25 UT.

HOP 336 (cycle25 bright points) was supported with Large_CH_Map at 07:30 and 09:12 UT.

The PSP connection test was supported again with 3 consecutive Large_CH_Map rasters at 12:12 UT.

Tuesday 07 January (OP1)

Atlas_60 was run on the AR at 00:18 UT while the AR was close to disk center. The final HPW021_VEL260x512v2 was run at 06:30 UT.

Tuesday 07 January (OP2)

AR 12755 tracking with HPW021VEL260x512v2 continued with rasters at 11:00 and 18:33 UT.

The ALMA campaign was postponed to 7-Jan so I supported with 7 rasters between 12:32 and 14:32 UT. UPDATE: the ALMA observation was canceled.

The PSP connection test continued with Large_CH_map. Two pointings were used. An extension of the north coronal hole was used at 15:02 UT. An east limb pointing was using at 16:47 UT.

Wednesday 08 January (OP2)

AR 12755 tracking with HPW021VEL260x512v2 continued with rasters at 00:40, 18:12 and 23:50 UT.

The PSP connection test continued with the east limb pointing at 07:04 UT, and the north CH extension at 08:39 UT.

HOP 81 was run at the north pole at 10:14 UT (three rasters).

Thursday 09 January (OP2)

The final HPW021VEL260x512v2 of the OP was run at 06:19 UT.

Thursday 09 January (OP3)

HOP 81 was run at the south pole at 10:32 UT (two rasters). The hole was large and clean so should be good data-set.

The PSP test was run again at 18:07 UT on a low latitude coronal hole (north).

Tracking of AR 12755 continued with a raster at 21:07 UT.

Friday 10 January (OP3)

Tracking of AR 12755 continued with rasters at 03:20, 11:20 and 18:25 UT.

The PSP test was run at 20:10, and HOP 393 (equatorial version of HOP 336) was run at 23:20 UT. Both used Large_CH_Map.

Saturday 11 January (OP3)

A final raster on AR 12755 was run at 07:10 UT.
