EIS: Calibration run over weekend. EIS: 1) UVCS-Ulysses campaign: Abundances as function of height in AR. EIS is requested to observe AR at the limb for a min of 4 hr 15 min per day on five days spanning west limb passage [7th May to disappearance of AR] 2) STEREO campaign. EIS will raster the slit across the active region on the disc and at the limb. (STEREO/SECCHI will complement with 75-second cadence 171 filtergrams, with other three wavelengths at 5-minute cadence.) [4th to 8th May] 3) Coronal dimming study. EIS will run coronal_wave_study to look for evidence of dimming following large events if activity looks likely. [As long as AR is visible] 4) After disappearance of the AR, EIS would like quiet Sun pointing near limb for: a) line broadening and diagnostics above limb b) STEREO campaign 304 high-cadence co-observations of spicules c) UVCS campaign If co-alignment program (2hr for N-limb, 2hr for E-limb) was not included in the May 5-7 weekend plan, please run this program soon after disappearance of the AR. andnbsp;This run will be important for calibrating absolute heliocentric coordinate for quiet sun. Also, this program may run once every a few days, depending on the satellite temperatures and science programs.; Request to XRT HOP Number 0007: ; Other Instruments: SoHO/CDS, UVCS; SoHO keyhole starts 17-May (26m dish) and 21-May (34m dish) STEREO/SECCHI Ulysses will be ending the quadrature with SOHO. Ulysses will be at a latitude of 55 deg (south-west), in the plane of the sky. Hence any active region say between 45 and 65 degree south that might be near the limb would contribute to the solar wind measured in-situ by Ulysses. Scintillation measurement (G.

A secondary aim is to measure electron temperatures, densities, and ionization state of the plasma as function of height from 1.0 to 1.6 solar radii using SOHO/CDS and Hinode/EIS.
