Science Goal: Coordinated Observation for the FOXSI-3 rocket experiment
Program: Fast map, 230"x164", Q65, 1-side CCD
Target: Plage
xcen=437 ycen=-17
Instrument: SOT
HOP/JOP: 360
Description:
To investigate the low-level hard X-ray emission that is predicted in some coronal heating scenarios, and/or by nanoflares. We aim for a second measurement of such plasma in our third flight, with an upgraded instrument including a photon-counting soft X-ray imager. For the quiet Sun, we will measure or set new upper limits on the hard X-rays produced by hot plasma and/or accelerated electrons.
