LASCO Activity Report for
June 8, 2005 SOHO Science Daily Meeting

Planner: K. Schenk, G. Stenborg

Event times are first frame seen in C2 camera unless otherwise noted.
These are preliminary observations for the daily SOHO science discussions.
Final analysis is reported on the Lasco CME list.
An archive of these reports is available.


Points Of Interest

- Couple of Kreutz comets on C2 since late on 2005/06/06 moving from the
  South toward the Sun. The fainter one vanishes on 06/07 by ~ 03:48 UT, 
  and the other one by ~ 06:48 UT. The bigger one (the one to the right) 
  was first detected in C3 at about 04:00 UT on 06/06.

* Telemetry KEYHOLE (SOHO will stay in TM Submode 5 during the Keyhole): 
  2005/06/05 - 2005/06/25: 26 m
  2005/06/09 - 2005/06/20: 34 m

* During the KEYHOLE, LASCO will be in synoptic program at the usual 
  cadences, with little loss of telemetry throughout due to the advanced
  recorder setup.

* 2005/05/06 - 2005/06/24: EIT Bakeout (==> No EIT CME Watch).
  EIT performed the long pre-bake calset (06/06 15:58-21:45 UT) and went 
  to heaters on at 21:52 UT. EIT will be in bake till June 24 @ 10:00 UT 
  and should resume imaging by (06/24) 20:00 UT.
 


2005/06/07 (Tuesday)

02:00 UT  EN East	Ragged front along streamer.

02:36 UT  E Limb	Diffuse and ragged elongated loop front.


10:24 UT  N East	Diffuse loop front starts to be discernible. It develops
			as a bright loop front by ~ 11:12 UT, and is followed by
			nice prominence material at 12:12 UT (the latter is
			brighter than the loop front). The mean plane-of-sky
			spped of the LE of the loop front at PA 61 was around
			368 km/sec, showing slight acceleration.

2005/06/08 (Wednesday)

	
02:00 UT  N East	Very faint elongated front that fades throughout C2.

04:00 UT  EN East	Faint blob-like front.

	05:12 - 12:48 UT	Temporary DSN Data Gap.

12:48 UT  W Limb	Faint asymmetric amd expanding loop front extanding all
			the way up to past the S Pole, already under development
			after data gap (apparently Partial Halo event).
 
Time of the last C2 image analyzed: 15:36 UT.
