FOT REPORT ---------- Spacecraft Status: Nominal Spacecraft Anomalies: None Accomplished Activities: VIRGO, SWAN, TTMH_TOMM_MMTOMH_01123 Planned Activities: NOM HGA, VIRGO, SWAN, New Tracking Star Upcoming Operations: None Ground Anomalies: None SOLAR STATUS ------------ 05/02 DOY 122 - 05/03 DOY 123 EIT daily On-Line Solar Status and observations: http://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/eit/plan/log_form20010503.html LASCO daily On-Line Solar Status and observations: http://lasco-www.nrl.navy.mil/observations/2001/obs20010503.html SIGMOID ALERT Message from SXT Chief Observer ------------- Please observe the sigmoidal active region NOAA AR: 9445 Heliographic coordinates: N26E37 epoch 2-May-01 Angular coordinates: [-515, 464] epoch 2-May-01 following MM OP#011 [Eruptive Flares Associated with Sigmoids (TOO)] & SOHO/TRACE JOP106 [Sigmoidal active region study] until further notice. This target supersedes the target identified by the MM_CO in the previous MMmotd message. We will send out a daily reminder message of this target until it is no longer appopriate for observation, at which time we will cancel this Target of Opportunity (TOO) campaign. INSTRUMENT STATUS ----------------- CDS: Nominal. Today - Active region diagnostics on AR 9445 and two hours of calibrations. Friday - CDS will support JOP106 with a map of AR 9445. Also planned for Friday is a particle beam study of the same region. UVCS: Nominal. Coronal hole observations in the south west and synoptics. UVCS might support JOP106 next week. LASCO: Nominal. C2 and C3 synoptics using the sequence that will be used for JOP139. EIT: Nominal. 195 Angstrom CME watch and synoptics. MDI: Nominal. Cropped full disk magnetograms and dopplergrams in best focus for continuous contact. TRACE: Nominal. TRACE continues observations of AR 9441 today. Sacramento Peak is expected to be cloudy, so no ASP observing. Friday's plans are TBD - either 9441 or 9445.
