Questions to Answer

Possible questions which we propose to answer (or address) with the Whole Sun Campaigns


Streamer study (SOHO JOP 76)

`Ideal' streamers will be observed during the first week of WSM. Then in the 3rd week, some of these will be observed again after they've rotated to the other limb. In addition to this, UVCS and LASCO will possibly run a 15 minute cadence streamer morphology campaign at some point in association with JOP 76. Pointing for the first streamer to be decided by B. Thompson using EIT data to find a streamer in the plane-of-the-sky. Try to observe streamer without active region at base if possible.


Sigmoidal active region study (SOHO/TRACE JOP 106)

Target of opportunity to be run when a sigmoidal active region is on the disk. S. Gibson is responsible for declaring the TOO.


Temperature and Density Structure of the Solar Corona (SOHO JOP 109)

Check back occasionally to see if this link has become active.

This JOP will be run at all other times, with the choice of targets depending upon the targets available. Various targets include Polar CH, Equatorial CH, Quiet Sun, and CH Boundary. It is possible we will run JOP 102 in association with this. Many of the decisions here will be made by CDS and UVCS planners.

IPS Observations

EISCAT

IPS observations will be occurring throughout the WSM period. See the JOP 106 description for other IPS plans. UVCS may make outflow velocity measurements in conjunction with some of the IPS observations.
