Polar plume workshop Feb. 4th at ISAS in Japan

[Loraine Lundquist <llundquist@cfa.harvard.edu>]

Dear Hinode friends,

We would like to announce a small workshop on the polar plume events  
observed by XRT at the north and south poles.  (A representative  
movie can be found here: ftp://sao-ftp.harvard.edu/public/llundquist/ 
AlPolyNpole20061123.avi.)  The workshop will take place at ISAS in  
Sagamihara, Japan, on Feb 4th, 2007.  This date falls just after the  
Feb 3rd SWG meeting, when many Hinode team members will already be in  
Japan.

At this time, we will have completed the first SOHO-TRACE-Hinode  
coordinated observation campaign targeting these events (Jan 9 - 21),  
and we will be preparing a second campaign for March.

Though the primary science workshop will occur on Feb 4th, we also  
invite you to participate in some intensive collaborative work during  
the week prior to the workshop, including alignment of all the  
various instrument observations and preliminary data analysis.  The  
capstone 1-day workshop will be a presentation of these results, a  
discussion of the science implications, and a dividing up of future  
work.  When finalized, the details of the room, time, and agenda will  
be sent to those who express interest in the workshop.

We would like to keep the attendance relatively small so that we have  
a manageable group to work with.  Nevertheless, we are eager to  
involve useful experts, so if you have a recommended attendee, please  
let us know so that we may add them to the invitation list.

Apologies for the short notice, but we hope to see you in February!

Regards,
Loraine Lundquist
