SOT Shift Report 2005-05-27 L2136 Duration: 27 May 2005 08:30 EDT - 27 May 2005 09:30 EDT 27 May 2005 12:30 GMT - 27 May 2005 13:30 GMT SOT Lead: Tom Aldcroft ======================================== Plan ---- Continue with MAY2305B load: Look for X-ray flares in the black hole at the center of M32; continue observing the small-diameter Galactic supernova remnant G15.9+0.2; then observe another in the survey of high redshift clusters to investigate dark energy in the universe; and finally back to M81 for another of the ~once/orbit snaps of the X-ray source population in this galaxy: 05690 M32 2005:147:00:58:21.361 116.0 ACIS-S NONE 06289 G15.9+0.2 2005:148:09:50:24.061 15.0 ACIS-S NONE 05762 cl0030+2618 2005:148:14:37:57.165 18.0 ACIS-I NONE 05936 M81 2005:148:20:14:46.215 11.4 ACIS-S NONE T_E02 CAL-ER (59644) 2005:149:00:13:33.065 4.2 -- -- T_X03 CAL-ER (59643) 2005:149:10:50:58.842 20.8 -- -- Events ------ No comm this shift Notes from 9am meeting ---------------------- Ops: In Radiation Zone NO Current SI ACIS-S Grating NONE Observation ID 05690 Target M32 Altitude 107.8 kkm Asc Radmon Disable 148/23:34z Next Radiation Zone 149/01:23z to 149/13:50z MP: - MAY3005B products have been reviewed, and there is one possible issue for which MP is awaiting a response. Radiation: - The sun is showing signs of activity primarily due to sunspot region 767. There was a long duration B7 flare which had an associated full-halo CME, followed by several C-class flares and an M1 flare. Coupled with the high-speed coronal stream which is becoming geoeffective, this weekend could be stormy. - Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low. Region 767 has the potential for C-class activity with a small chance for an M-class flare. Old Region 758 (S10, L=139), which produced three M-flares on its last rotation, is expected to rotate onto the visible disk on 28 May. - Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled with occasional active periods on 27 and 28 May due to the effects of a coronal hole high speed stream. The full halo CME from 26 May is expected to cause active to minor storm conditions on 29 May.
