Comments from attendees welcome!#
If you are attending this day of the meeting, please comment here if you would like to give input.Those without an EISWiki account (shame on you!) can mail their comments and intended contribution topics to David Williams.
It would be good to have a discussion about this agenda before the meeting, here on the EISWiki.
Report from Technical Splinter Meeting (previous day)#
Expect to hear reports on things like...Calibration updates#
Remote Operations#
- Remote Planning
- Procedure
- Human
- Software
- Procedure
- Interactions
Study-creation in the S-band Era#
What we’ve learned to date:#
- Prospects
- Problems
- Experiences
How do we address observing challenging targets like flares?#
This is a particularly interesting problem.
EIS Science Results#
Talks should put special emphasis on unsolved components in the context of what they talk about, and how they can be addressed using all three instruments on Hinode.Are these categories now out-dated? Should we organise talks differently?
Quiet Sun#
Active Regions#
- Cambridge Active Region Studies
Coronal Holes#
Flares#
Techniques#
- Line identifications with EIS and CHIANTI (Peter Young)
- Diagnostics with the slot (Ignacio Ugarte)
Science with other, non-Hinode instruments#
- We've had many campaigns with SUMER;
- CDS routinely follows EIS's pointing;
- TRACE will routinely follow the most active target on the Sun (as declared by Max Millennium
's CO), while Hinode often does the same;
- there have been several high-profile mutli-instrument campaigns, such as the WHI campaign in 2008
- large numbers of HOPs have had a ground-based observatory component
Communicating Science#
Promoting science results to the immediate and wider science community#
Communicating EIS Science beyond the professional science community#
Analysis Software#
State of reduction package#
- EIS_PREP, etc.
Useful additional software#
(With descriptions or demonstrations)- Gaussian fitting routines for EIS (Peter Young)
EISWiki#
The EIS Wiki is our public face for informationChanges made since last year#
How to increase participation#
Keeping the contents up-to-date#
- Good practice
New layers of information#

Back to the EIS Team Meeting top page.
The agenda looks fine overall. Here are a few suggestions: Under Technical Session would it be worthwhile having a topic on “study-creation in the S-band era – prospects, problems, and experience” ? And what about the studies we are supposed to be preparing in the S-band era for solar maximum, e.g., flare studies? Under Science Results you might have a specific topic dealing with “EIS with other instruments science”, such as for example results from the EIS/SUMER campaigns. This would deal with research where key measurements are made with at least one instrument other than EIS, and not be concerned with research in which other instruments are used primarily for context. But maybe this topic is unnecessary and can be part of your other science topics. If I think of other possibilities I will let you know.

Could you add another item to the agenda? That is to look at how we keep a log of interesting events seen in EIS data. ... We talked about it on and off before launch but it would be good to try and get some simple log in place.
