* LKH: Outflow areas: what does Ca II H look like?
* HPW: could SOT provide a measure of the vector magnetic field
* LKH: how do the horizontal magnetic fields impact on heating the atmosphere
* GAD: how accurate are the XRT filter ration?
** And do we know what their temperature responses. We should get XRT to explain how they're getting these.
* HPW: think we should do what Helen has done and get cross-calibrated joint observations
* JTM: does unusual flux emergence have correspondence in EIS data.
* GAD: any energetic stuff seen in SOT: flux cancellation, we could try to tie in with something we see in EIS.

* 16:20 Line identifications with EIS and CHIANTI (Peter Young)
The chances are in the last few years that if you've observed Fe XI 188.8, yo've probabluy also picked up 188.5 in the same window, so it's a little messy in that region of the spectrum.

If my ident of Fe IX 197 is correct, it's probably a good line for temperature diagnostics.

Can also "fix" the TRACE temperature response, so it's an important role for EIS to help better science from the imagers.
** Fe VII: normally see that 195 towers above the rest of the spectrum. The Fe VII data most commonly used are normally in the optical, but now working on the EUV lines.
Based on the current ion-balance calculations, it puts Fe VII at logT 5.4. But it's clear that __missed this__
# 11 new line IDs made from EIS spectra (mainly in the LW band)
# 16 new or revised energy levels
*** Diagnostics
Unfortunately no density sensitivity below log ne = 9.0
If you want to put Fe VII in your study, 196.22 is probably the best, and then 195.39 is a factor of two even stronger. Unfortunately, there are a lot of data which have problems and can be out by a factor of two between theory and observations.
Pretty fantastic that you can see 11 consecutive Fe ionisation stages from VII through XVII.
GAD: there's an Fe XXI and XXII line as well as Fe XXIII and XXIV
Also found there are Cr lines, too. Large EM between 5.5 and 5.8 enhances lines in this temperature range. have ID'd Cr VII and Cr VIII
** EIS is very important for doing basic spectroscopy
*** testing atomic data
*** making new identifications
*** benefits existing and upcoming missions' science
* 16:40 Diagnostics with the slot (Ignacio Ugarte)
Wanted to see what else we could get out of the slots.
Compared consecutive slot and slit rasters: similar but different.
Tried to reconstruct 40 gaussians from the slit profile. A LOT of free parameters.
Each of these 40 gaussians has an amplitude, a width, a centroid, and a (constant) background. So I had to fix the parameters. I'm going to assume the same width because they all have the same temperature (it's just an assumption). Also assume that there are no Doppler shifts, that they're centred. So I just fit the amplitudes (justified on the basis of the consecutive raster).
So, we have the raster simulated from the slot. There are differences, but remember that the raster took time to make, and the differences could be of solar origin.
* 17:05 Velocities with the slot (Louise Harra)
Using the slot plus ''TRACE'' and employing a MOSES-like technique. The velocities are very encouraging.
HEM: so it's important that TRACE co-ordinates with EIS?

Small-FOV, high-cadence spectral images are key for good physics.
*** Line profiles from FPs during impulsive phase
*** Measure Doppler and nonthermal velocities as functions of time and temperature
*** How are line profiles related to electron beam parameters
*** n_e measurements.
Wish list:
# < 4-min cadence rasters
# moderate FOV 100 x 100
# fast exposures < 5 seconds
## (originally advertised 1 second exposures)
# line selections:
Core lines, Fe species, at least one n_e sensitive pair
# long duration observations >16 hours per day
# Max millennium ToOs
# not using the flare trigger to increase chance of catching the very early conditions
## what latency is there using the trigger anyway?
## ''seems like it's a second or two from XRT's trigger to EIS
# for RHESSI-specific observations, running EIS only during RHESSI's day?
*** People often write that a spectral window is centred on a given line. Maybe junk the red side of the window, because most high-T lines have blue shifts, but not high redshifts.
*** Are coronal HXR sources the reconnection site? EIS could measure the differences in the pre- and post-flare densities. Perhaps detect reconnection inflows around the source.
*** Observe regions __after__ they've rotated beyond the limb.
*** Impulsive EUV emission
high-cadence (1-second) 266" slot observations
*** resonant absorption of MHD waves
** 17:15 Very active regions (Harry Warren / John Mariska)
Commuted to a discussion about how we might co-ordinate prime flare observations as a test case for prime observations for all major targets.
PRY: if EIS puts a strong message that we want to do one kind of obserbvation
HPW: how do we prioritise our observations when the ARs come back?
PRY: would be good if we came up with an observation
Needs to be freedom -- want to run for long periods of time
Could there be working groups on how to build active region observations, for example? Does there need to be a meeting?

HEM: I think what you said about getting feedback is important. One might think of a quick response to the data. ''Good idea''
JLC: there may be a very good reason to run a study several
AI: try to link the eis_plan file into the Wiki so that there's an RSS feed to tell people what EIS is doing.
PRY: is it worth time-limiting these plans? I've probably got enough data.
JTM: I'm a little reluctant to prioritise the 2nd tier, but run numbers would be useful. that would be self-prioritising. A little worried also about polluting the e-mail and webspace with another source of information.
''Suggest somehow placing these files on the Wiki automatically''
HEM would like to know the channel for feedback from proposers.
