SUMER pointings and line selections during JOP104 campaign
Apr 15 - May 06, 2002

In the table below, the coordinates are the SUMER slit center pointing in solar-(x,y). The 300 arcsec long and 4 arcsec wide spectrometer slit (oriented north-south) was used. The time series at fixed pointing were taken simultaneously in the lines listed with a temporal resolution of N*16.5 sec, where N is the number of lines used (N=3 for most observations listed here). At each line, a spectral window of about 2 Angstrom width was recorded. Full detector readouts were taken at regular intervals (of typically 49.5 min). All poinings are off the west limb, so not all AR associations listed are unique.

Lines used in these studies:

Fe XXI 1354.00,
Fe XIX 1118.08,
Fe XVII 1153.16,
Fe XII 1349.36,
Ca XV 1098.44,
Ca XIII 1133.79,
Ca X/2 1115.51,
Si III 1113.22,
C II 1335.13
