2. Hinode Workshop / Hinode 専題研討会 2 2007/12/08-10 Weekly Meeting On Thursday (JST),  We have a weekly XRT-team meeting via teleconference, and discuss the current status and the next week observations and operations. On Friday (JST),  In a weekly (Hinode team) meeting, XRT-CO (Chief Observer) request and explain the XRT weekly plan, and discuss the Hinode weekly plan with others (SOT-CO, EIS-CO, CP and some experts) based on the results of the monthly meeting.

8. Hinode Workshop / Hinode 専題研討会 8 2007/12/08-10 XRT Observation Planning XRT-CO makes tomorrow’s plan with COT (Chief Observer Tool).  Prepare XOB (XRT Observation Table).  Create a timeline.  Check the data rate of the timeline. For daily planning, XRT-CO communicates with XRT members, other COs and proposers of observations, if necessary. Here, I explain the outline by using the final product of the COT, a list of XOB and a timeline chart.
