This run was specifically interesting because its duration was much longer than before. The data exhibit a rich phenomenology on all temporal scales down to 20s. Off-limb corona (full-FOV). Binning for Metis: 2x2 in VL. High cadence observation: from 1 s (fixed polarization) to 20 s or 60 s (total brightness). Interesting downflows in an open-field region. Analysis in progress. First presentation of the results at the upcoming Metis Science Team Meeting in January (Naples, Capodimonte Astronomical Observatory, 27-29 January 2025).

It was targeted on an AR. The science goal was to capture the AR dynamics caused by small-scale emergence near AR loop footpoints. The AR was not adequately visible from Earth-based assets. An exciting aspect of this SOOP is the presence of a large moss region. Moss is known to be variable up to a few to tens of seconds, although the exact nature of such variability remains unknown. One of the PhD students at MPS is looking at this aspect in a statistical way, and this dataset is also part of that study. Caught quiet sun region close to disk centre. EUI is already using the dataset for campfires analysis. |

Hinode SOT+EIS and IRIS Earth based assets (HMI,Hinode,SST,Gregor,IRIS) could all observe as the ARs were visible from Earth, but near to the limb to start with on both occasions.

In LTP13 a preceding offpointing was commanded for SPICE to scan the west limb. Metis observed at least 3 CMEs incl prominence ejection during the soop. The CH boundary is stable, almost not affected. Prominence eruption around south pole in LYA (first time with Metis). Target was the full corona with particular focus on the regions at the interface between streamers and coronal holes. disk-centre pointing + 3 scans of the West limb for HR observations by SPICE and EUI. two small CMEs occurred on 21/10 from the SW and NE quadrants. The region observed off-limb with SPICE and EUI turned out to be a dark-halo surrounding an active region (probably associated with an equatorial pseudo-streamer). |

Hinode/EIS, IRIS, SST Hinode/EIS was (mistakenly?) not pointed at the coronal hole for most of the 3-day observing campaign In RSW12, Sun-Earth line observations allowed to better observe the coronal hole with SDO/AIA 193A channel. This helped with target selection for Orbiter and also in post-event analysis of the coronal hole. Hinode/EIS spectroscopic observations (although the targetting unfortunately was not always pointed at the coronal hole as we would have liked).
