LASCO Activity Report for
April 02, 2004 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

SOHO is now in a telemetry keyhole (2004/03/19 - 2004/04/04). LASCO data 
will consist of typically two (occasionally three) continuous periods of
real-time data per day.

Beginning at 00:00 UT on March 18, 2004 EIT will be in CCD bakeout mode; 
No EIT images until April 5, 2004.

	12:00 - 21:20 UT	Data Gap

21:40 UT  S East	Slow development of faint system of loops along 
			streamer.

23:05 UT  N East	Bright loop front, cavity and twisted core. Typical 
			'flux rope' event. Mean plane-of-sky speed at PA ~56:
			425 km/sec, showing slight acceleration (based on C2 
			data).
