Special High Cadence Observation of AR 11243

In order to do cleanup of the FG-CCD of SOT, SOT team performed the FG-CCD Bakeout and suspend the observations by SOT on 5th and 6th July. Hence, XRT and EIS could use the large data area (3.6 Gbits for each instrument) that is usually used by SOT. Since XRT team had to perform the XRT-CCD Bakeout on 6th July, XRT needed to spend 3.6Gbits in one day. The data rate is 5 times larger than the usual rate. XRT used the data area for the special high-cadence observation of AR 11243. The movie is the result of the observation (The size of movie is 509 MBytes. Please be careful.) The movie shows that the small brightenings occurred in/out the active region.
