Joint Planning of SOT/XRT/EIS Observations Outline of 90 Day Initial Observing Plans T. Shimizu, L Culhane
Solar-B SWG Meeting, ISAS, 21 st April, Active region tracking: - Emerging AR - Mature/decaying AR - Flaring AR - Subsurface flows - MHD waves Quiet Sun: - Network flux dynamics (Bright Points?) - Internetwork flux - Convective flow structure Irradiance: - Activity belt - Polar regions Prominences/Filaments - Prominence at limb/Filaments on disc - Track boundary evolution SOT Initial Science Plan Principal Topics
Solar-B SWG Meeting, ISAS, 21 st April, Flares from dynamic AR on disk: Follow AR across disk, flare program loaded - Deploy range of filters and FoV sizes - Flare topology and energetics Track modest (emerging or decaying) active region on disc: Image with large, medium and small FoVs - Structure, energetics and dynamic behaviour - AR evolution; track centre to limb? Quiet Sun/X-ray Bright Points: Multi-filter study of bright points - Thermal structure - Dynamics - Life-cycle statistics Quiet Sun/coronal holes Single filter for boundary imaging - Track boundary evolution Quiet Sun/filament Magnetic structure around filament - Track filament for 1-2 days XRT Initial Science Plan Principal Topics
Solar-B SWG Meeting, ISAS, 21 st April, Flare trigger and dynamics: Spatial determination of evaporation and turbulence in a flare - Characterize AR topology - Measure key structures in detail - Flare trigger response for early velocity measurement Active region heating: Spatial determination of v, T e and n e in active region structures - High time cadence sit and stare observations; new dynamics - Observe AR global changes - Velocity measurements (± 3 km/s) Quiet Sun and coronal hole boundary: Correlate coronal Te, n e and v with magnetic topology - Study corona above two supergranule cells - Study corona above bright point or explosive event - Observe above a coronal hole boundary Quiet Sun and Prominences (assume no available AR) Spatial determination of v, T e and n e in surrounding regions -Register and follow eruption EIS Initial Science Plan Principal Topics

Solar-B SWG Meeting, ISAS, 21 st April, Coordination with STEREO imaging should occur in first 90 days Coordination with TRACE and SOHO/ MDI also necessary Coordination with Other Missions WIKKI to be established at ISAS or MSSL - as soon as practicable All three Solar-B instrument teams to post brief descriptions of their roles in above joint observing programmes (JOPs) Actions
