Q1 Questions:
All: Given the holidays in December and expectations of vacations, what do we want to do in December, especially at the end of the month?
What happened to November?
All: Are we going into an engineering period for the month of January?
SciOps has planned to go back on sun only in February for Cycle 3 observing. We are not prepared to be ready in January.
InstOps: What is the Q4 plan for VTF? Will we have the KIS team out in November?
SciOps:
What are the SolO and Parker windows we want to hit in Q4? Are there other co-observing opportunities?
PSPE21 on 9/30. This is a Cryo-NIRSP observation only.
October 1: Solar Orbiter co-observing: R_BOTH_HRES_HCAD_Filament_Prominence - high-resolution observations of prominence at West limb, close to Earth quadrature (~4hrs) - pVSTP - FOR DKIST: on-disk filament observation SOOP Coordinators: T. Kucera, S. Parenti
October 2 - 19: different co-observing programs: AR Long Term (multiple days - may not be consecutive), SMALL_MRES_MCAD_Earth-Quadrature - high-resolution observations of target at West limb, close to Earth quadrature (~2hrs) - pVSTP SOOP Coordinator: P. Chitta, SMALL_HRES_HCAD_RS-burst 30 mins of EUI super high cadence observations - pVSTP Moved to 19 October during DKIST-available time (1800-2200 hrs, depending on when best fits the SPICE observations for Fast Wind).
Need to continue with FIDO 3a AND 3c experiments. Configuration for Solar Orbiter should be 3c - need for FIDO changes of CL2a position - hot swap testing FIDO-150.
Support on two saturdays instead of sundays.
Other science operations priorities:
Experiment generation for Cycle 3 start: ideally we need to know at that point what DL modes to include.
Cycle 4 Proposal Call preparation in full swing.
Rolling shutter for ViSP: increase of operational efficiency (no more NDs) and increased frame rate at same exposure time at the cost of lower SNRs and exposure time testing starting from scratch.
DL-NIRSP SV with Cycle 2 experiments continued → visible camera needs to be implemented, focused (float?) → required for Cycle 4 preparation, need to know what to offer.
Testing of 50/50 and 70/30 BS.
ViSP modulator replacement: beam wobble mitigation.
Step one in prep for ViSP beam attenuators: put the mounts in.
TechOps: What is the longest non-concurrent PM/Upgrade we have this quarter?
InstOps/TechOps: Can the InstOps/TechOps tasks be accomplished concurrently in the November Engineering period?
