SOTSP: HOP 393 Equatorial (1/2)
2020-05-30T09:24:30 to 2020-05-30T10:17:05
Science Goal: Cycle 24/25 equatorial transition
Program: Fast Map, Full FOV 1 side CCD Q75
Target: Limb
xcen=-40 ycen=-39
Instrument: SOTSP
HOP/JOP: 393
Description:
Main Objective: Capture the magnetic and chromospheric signatures of the transition between cycle 24 and 25. Scientific Justification: Small magnetic features and coronal bright points have been shown to indicate the bands of activity associated with the solar cycle. The precise location of these bands is important for predicting the timing of solar minimum and, more generally, the long-term variability of the Sun. ---------- additional instruction (in eclipse season) ----------- ID: 0x12c (Fast Map, Full FOV) During eclipse season, please run a full width, full height fast map at the same pointing, instead of the normal maps. Each of these should run twice, in 2 consecutive orbits, for redundancy. Full height is requested because SOT offsets in Y are large and slightly uncertain during eclipse season. SP Main # 7, ID: 0x17f Fast map, 230"x164", Q65, 1-side CCD
