Title : 'Helium emission in a dynamic sun' Objective : Obtain the spectral signature of transients (Spicules ?) in helium lines observed by SUMER Monitor the dynamic of the emitting elements in a reduced EIT field of view . Identify the emitting features. Duration: one hour Cadence: 20 sec Procedure: 1) EIT : high cadence (20 sec) subfields (128 X 128 pixels ) surrounding the SUMER slit * field of view 335 X 335 arcsec * in the 304 HeII line (reduced exposure time : 10 sec !!) * shutterless mode 2) SUMER : long narrow slit (0.3sec X 300sec) (360 pixels) * two lines observed on 50 spectral pixels each * high cadence (20 sec) * 36000 pixels transmitted to ground every 20 sec the transmission time should be 1.5 hour per 1-hour observation (a buffer is being used to accomodate the data flow) lines observed : A) HeI 584 A second order + CIII 1175 A B) HeII 1084.9 A + NII 1085.1 A + SIV 1073 A Proposed dates: June 15 18h -19h UT (before bakeout ?) June 19 18h -19h UT (after bakeout) [NOTE: June 15 & 16 selected starting at 13 UT each day] Position : On the disk in a quite region (TBD) The SUMER slit is at - 300 sec East of disk center JP Delaboudiniere (With help from P.
