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.
