Hinode / EIS Hinode Data Analysis Workshop, Paris, Nov 2007 Dr Peter Young, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Rasters The basic observation unit with EIS is a rasterThe basic observation unit with EIS is a raster Spectroscopy rastersSpectroscopy rasters –scan over an area with a narrow slit –performing a sit-and-stare with a narrow slit Imaging rastersImaging rasters –scan over an area with a wide slit –performing a sit-and-stare with a wide slit

Hinode / EIS Hinode Data Analysis Workshop, Paris, Nov 2007 Dr Peter Young, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Studies A study comprises of one or more rastersA study comprises of one or more rasters Example 1Example 1 –Raster 1: context images with the 40” slot –Raster 2: 50 exposures in sit-and-stare mode with 1” slit –Raster 3: context images with the 40” slot Example 2Example 2 –Raster 1: large format context raster with 1” slit –Raster 2: 10 repeats of small format raster with 1” slit Most studies actually comprise of only a single rasterMost studies actually comprise of only a single raster

Hinode / EIS Hinode Data Analysis Workshop, Paris, Nov 2007 Dr Peter Young, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Planning constraints The 24 hour planning period begins around 11 UTThe 24 hour planning period begins around 11 UT Hinode daily planning meetings occur at 01:30 UTHinode daily planning meetings occur at 01:30 UT 2-day weekend plans begin at around 11 UT Saturday2-day weekend plans begin at around 11 UT Saturday Hinode is re-pointed every ≈ 6 hours for the XRT synopticsHinode is re-pointed every ≈ 6 hours for the XRT synoptics –an EIS study should be < 6 hours in duration Pointing information is needed for the daily meeting one day before the observationsPointing information is needed for the daily meeting one day before the observations –small pointing adjustments are possible at the daily meeting on the observation day
