xrt_co: - Cycle 24 meeting Dec 7-12 '08

[Ed Deluca <edeluca@cfa.harvard.edu>]

Hi,

  I have been ask to co-lead the microflare/nano-flare working group at
the Napa Solar Cycle 24 meeting
(http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~hhudson/s24_private/index.php).

A key aspect of this meeting is to prepare joint observations as we  
approach
the next solar maximum. XRT will need to take a leading role as we have
a unique capability to observe the transition from hot  to super hot   
plasma
with high spatial, and temporal resolution.

The microflare/nano-flare group includes coronal loop heating, waves,
jets and small energetic events in the quite sun. There is a wealth  
of XRT
observations of these processes, in addition to the traditional AR  
mirco-flares.
Please consider preparing presentations on the science that is being  
done
for this meeting, and come prepared to discuss how we can do a better  
job
as the sun becomes more active.

Ed
