EIS Team Science Meeting Agenda#

18th March

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

1 Technical#

1.1 Report from Technical Splinter Meeting (previous day)#

• 09:00 (Khalid Al-Janabi)

Khalid reported on the instrument status, w.r.t. PZT non-linearity.

Also discussed the statistics of observations carried out to date.

Remote operations initial testing and model also reported on.

1.2 Analysis Software#

1.2.1 Status of the reduction package#

• 10:00 EIS_PREP (Alessandro Gardini)

1.2.2 Useful additional software#

(With descriptions or demonstrations)

• 10:15 Gaussian fitting routines for EIS (Peter Young)
• 10:35 A quick display method (David Williams)

Coffee#

10:40 to 11:00

1.3 Choosing data#

• 11:00 Discussion on Data access

There are huge volumes of EIS data, but it would be good to have a discussion on how to go about accessing the kind of data you're looking for.

2 Science#

2.1 EIS Science Achievements#

Each national PI will give their perspective on the scientific achievements of EIS in its first 2.5 years. These are personal perspectives on where we stand on two things:

1. phenomena and scientific issues that were known before launch
2. the discoveries Hinode has made with EIS

( they won't necessarily agree :-) )

• 11:30 Tetsuya Watanabe
• 11:50 Louise Harra
• 12:10 George Doschek

Lunch#

12:30 to 13:30

2.2 EIS Science Results#

Speakers are encouraged to 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.

2.2.1 Active Regions#

• 13:30 Cambridge active region studies (Helen Mason)
• 13:45 The thermal structure of active regions (Harry Warren)
• 14:00 Multi-component active region flows (Paul Bryans)
• 14:15 Flows & motions in moss in the core of a flaring active region (David Brooks)

2.2.2 Flares#

• 14:30 Evaporated Plasma (Ryan Milligan)

2.3 Where to next for EIS science?#

14:45 to 15:15 Not only having listened to the contributions given this afternoon, but also having considered our progress in achieving EIS's main science goals — both pre- and post-launch — it would be good to have a discussion before and after coffee on what burning questions we think are obviously being left unanswered.

I'd like to budget 30 minutes for this.

Afternoon Tea#

15:15

2.4 Analysis Techniques#

• 15:30 Line identifications with EIS and CHIANTI (Peter Young)
• 15:50 Diagnostics with the slot (Ignacio Ugarte)

2.4 Observing Techniques & Strategies#

What we’ve learned to date on observing with the S-band antenna

• 16:10 Some techniques for observing (David Williams)
• 16:20 Raster stitching (David Brooks)
  • Problems
  • Some examples of studies that have proven useful in overcoming these problems
  • Prospects & challenges for the future:
• How do we address observing challenging targets like flares?
  • 16:25 Flares (Ryan Milligan)
  • 16:45 Very active regions (Harry Warren / John Mariska)
• 17:05 Observation Planning - Core Team proposals and HOPS (Len Culhane)

4 EIS Website & Wiki#

17:15 These are our public face for information. It would be good to talk about:

• Changes made since last year
• How to increase participation
• Good practice
  • Keeping the contents up-to-date
• New types of content
