CONGRATULATIONS TO SECCHI TEAM

Meeting Summary Data, Calibration and Tools are extremely well advanced –The European contribution has been outstanding We are able to get on with the analyses –The combination of SECCHI observations with those from other data sets from STEREO, Hinode, Trace, SOHO, Ulysses, SWAP, etc is extremely exciting Automatic processing/characterization techniques are useful for on- ground processing, but may enable on-board selection of important images to be downlinked during low telemetry periods Synoptic Program –Needs additional work -Rethink the cadences -Possible low compression into SSR2 -Need high quality movies for PR –Possible extra daily TM dump, enabling lower compression

Data Policy The SECCHI data are completely open. You have heard status from each of the instrument teams. But do not feel that you may only use data from a single telescope. We are a team – the Sun shines on all of us. I would like to propose the following authorship policy to recognize the contributions of the instrument developers and operations people –General observation papers for the first TBD months would include a core group of people (TBD) who had worked on the development and/or operation –Papers that are more theoretical/analytical would have a more limited authorship from the core group and perhaps none –New major discoveries within the first TBD months would have an authorship that would be the core group I propose that the instrument leads discuss this off-line.

Press Releases Press releases are encouraged – just send me a copy of your release and I’ll forward it to the NASA press officer, Rani Gran We will be releasing a SECCHI picture of the week. It is similar to the Astronomy Picture of the Day This NEEDS your help to succeed. Please be thinking of nice pictures that might have a general interest JPL has established a web site to facilitate the input of such material – a picture, set of pictures, or a movie AND a short caption/writeup.

3D Press Conference April 23, 2007 Data Examples –Loops in AR –Plumes –Other Structures Show examples of how stereo images help us to develop models –Suggestions –Modeling of Atmosphere – extend to HI –Linear/non-linear modeling of an AR –Tie pointing of CME to estimate the true speed and direction –Data “Inversions” forward modeling of structure – CME?, streamer?

Book Offer Volker Bothmer has indicated that Springer Verlag has invited us to think about a book Suggestions – –First Results from STEREO –??

Senior Review We fully expect the STEREO mission will be extended beyond the initial 2- year prime phase The mechanism for doing this in the US is to submit a proposal to the NASA mission operations directorate. NASA than calls a “Senior Review” to rank the various missions and to recommend funding levels There has been some preliminary discussions that a senior review would be held next spring, requiring a proposal from the STEREO program this fall/winter. The dates are not fixed. We can guarantee a successful review by having good scientific analyses, papers and outreach activities. I believe that the truly outstanding and unique data from STEREO will make it very easy to publish. I would like to keep an electronic record of papers that are published by the team (and others) that will be maintained on our web site. Please inform me of any other activities that you think might be relevant to our case.
