EIS Team Science Meeting Agenda#

18th March

This page refers to one day of a closed meeting of the EIS consortium

Contributions now solicited!#

Those without an EISWiki account or access can mail their comments and intended contribution topics to David Williams.

Report from Technical Splinter Meeting (previous day)#

Expect to hear reports on things like...

Calibration updates#

Remote Operations#

• Remote Planning
  • Procedure
    • Human
    • Software
• Interactions

Analysis Software#

Status of the reduction package#

• EIS_PREP (Alessandro Gardini)

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)
  • ...a look to how absolute units in slot images compare to slit rasters and what diagnostics we can obtain from them (density, DEM). It could be interesting for EIS users.

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

What projects are under-way with these multi-instrument observations that couldn't otherwise be tackled?

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 information

Changes made since last year#

How to increase participation#

Keeping the contents up-to-date#

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.

Besides talk about EISWIki on science meeting (18th) may I suggest that we also have a discussion on our main website to find out which are good /bad, and what we can improve to deliver better information and services to scientists and public? Since launched in May 2007, we added plenty of contents on the website. Some of them maybe old and some may need to change. So it's good to have all your opinions

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.

...
I am thinking to prepare a short presentation of eis_prep and of the moment computation in xfiles for the "Analysis Software" session on the 18th. I think everybody should indeed be already very aware of it, but it can help as a schematic reminder for an eventual discussion.
