Dear MDI Operations Coordinators, although the SOHO with its MDI will we in a keyhole in the second half of August we would like to ask if it would be possible to support our g-b observing campaign (SOHO JOP if approved) described below with the corresponding MDI measurements. Our team has been granted by the observing time for the following DOT/LaPalma (Canary Island, Spain) observing campaign for the time interval August 3-31, 2007. The CDS support was preliminary confirmed. Here follow the details. - title: Physical mechanisms driving solar microflares and supergranular network dynamics - relevance for coronal heating - period: 2007.08.03-2007.08.31 (28 days) - leader : Jan Rybak, (choc@astro.sk) - proposal: http://www.astro.sk/~choc/open/07_dot/rybak_dot_proposal_2007.pdf - campaign page: http://www.astro.sk/~choc/open/07_dot/07_dot.html - campaign approved and granted by the observing time of DOT: see the DOT schedule: http://dot.astro.uu.nl/web-schedule2007.txt - targets: quit sun near the disk center or at mju up to 0.5, target selected day in advance according to actual situation on the Sun - MDI data of interest: - HR magnetograms (1 per minute) + - HR intesitygrams (higher cadence than 96 minutes) - selection between the FD and HR mode would be done in advance depending on the actual activity situation on the Sun - in case of FR mode we would prefer E-W elongated MDI FOV - MDI period requested: 03/08-31/08/2007 - MDI time requested: each day from 07:00 till 13:30 UT if possible We understand that several technical limitations (keyhole) and other requests can seriously limit your possibilities to joint with your MDI data our g-b campaign. Nevertheless your B_long magnetograms would be very helpful for our work. Looking forward to hear from you whether you can support our g-b observations and with many thanks beforehand Jan Rybak TL, 16/08/2007 ************************************************************************** * Jan Rybak tel. : ++421 52 78791-56 (-11 secretary) * * Astronomical Institute fax : ++421 52 4467 656 * * Slovak Academy of Sciences email : choc@astro.sk * * 05960 Tatranska Lomnica WWW : http://www.astro.sk/~choc * * Slovak Republic * **************************************************************************
