Participating ground-based observatories
VLA:
Approved VLA program led by Bin Chen targeting flares. The program runs in the 4-8 GHz C band and has a 300"-600" field of view (18 hours in total). Can be triggered when the Sun shows abundant flare activities.
ALMA:
Director's Discretionary Time proposal led by Kevin Reardon. Observations on October 18, October 25, and November 4 (baseline, flexible if there are weather issues and/or better coordination times).
DKIST:
Director's Discretionary Time proposal led by Alexandra Tritschler (w/ Thomas Schad, Daniel Müller, Krzysztof Barczynski, Chris Nelson, Miho Janvier) for the long-term AR SOOP. The program involves Cryo-NIRSP when target is at the limb, then VBI + ViSP when target is on disk. ~4 days of observations.
Details of the observations are as follows:
10/18/2022 Off-Limb Observations - Experiment EID_1_122 - Cryo-NIRSP only
This was a Test run of the Observing Programs, but a whole data set has been obtained.
Multiple executions of the observing programs of Experiment EID_1_122.
OP1: R1.08 with slit parallel to limb ; SP intensity scans in 1074 and 1079, CI 1083 ; 400 step raster
OP2: R1.08 with slit parallel to limb ; SP polarimetric scans 1074, CI 1083 ; 100 step raster
OP3: R1.08 with slit parallel to limb ; Deep CryoNIRSP coarse raster for magnetic field measurements off-limb; SP1074, CI 1083 ; 10 step raster

10/21/2022 On-Disk Observations - Experiment EID_1_123 - ViSP and VBI-Blue/Red
2 complete ViSP maps/rasters ; limb pointing at about (-843”,+229”)
Observing time frame: 18:30 - 21:15 UTC
10/24/2022 On-Disk Observations - Experiment EID_1_123 - ViSP and VBI-Blue/Red
2 complete ViSP maps/rasters targeting a pore at (-397”, 198”) within the IRIS FOV
some incomplete (early terminated) ViSP rasters likely simalar pointint with IRIS FOV overlap
Observing time frame: 18:15 - 22:15 UTC
THEMIS:
Approved THEMIS program led by Miho Janvier for the long-term AR SOOP. The program involves spectro-polarimetry + broadband imaging of the target(s). Running from Oct. 20th till Nov. 10th.
GST/BBSO:
Approved GST TAC program led by Miho Janvier for the long-term AR SOOP. The program involves Broad-band Filter Imager, Visible Imaging Spectrometer and the Near-infrared Imaging Spectro-polarimeter
Mauna Loa Solar Observatory (UCoMP):
Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Upgraded Coronal Multi-Channel (UCoMP) instrument and K-Cor white light coronagraph provide synoptic observations. The K-Cor white light coronagraph acquires white light polarization brightness images of the solar corona from 1.05 to 3 solar radii at 15 sec cadence. Point of contact: Joan Burkepile
