SOT: HOP 280 Spicules @ SP CH
2015-03-20T11:39:00 to 2015-03-20T15:15:00
Science Goal: Coordinated Hinode/XRT, SOT and ground based observations of the total solar eclipse of 20 March 2015
Program: HOP 280 Ca deep exp 4 sec cadence, ROI 3
Target: S. Pole
xcen=250 ycen=-929
Instrument: SOT
HOP/JOP: 280
Description:
Request to SOT HOP Number 0280 - Observation plan 3: SOT observations of spicules at the solar limb. A Ca II sequence capable of observing spicules with medium cadence (~15---20 sec, 2x2 binning OK). To be run during limb PCH pointing period. (If no PCH is available, this should be run on polar-region quiet Sun, after completion of HOP 278 pointing requests.) Pointing should be as close to limb as possible (15''). (3) SOT observations. Ca II spicule limb observations during at least one of the periods of the limb studies, preferable during PCH observations. If no PCH is available, then the preferred target is polar quiet Sun. The objective is to study spicules at the base of coronal plumes, and/or at the base of X-ray jets (Sterling, Harra, and
Moore 2010, ApJ, 722, 1644).
