Wu Command file: 03.08.18.15:36:26.cmd.log Activity: --------- 1) UVCS with VLA Faraday rotation observations using radio source 3C228 Sequence: 03.08_UVCS_VLA_ch5.tcl SCI_SPEC: Steve Spangler will obtain VLA observations of the radio source 3C228 to search for Faraday rotation fluctuations due to waves in the solar corona. We expect the source to pass behind a streamer in the later part of his observation at about 7 solar radii and the north coronal hole at about 4 solar radii. UVCS will observe O VI and Lyman lines to determine kinetic temperatures, average densities and outflow speeds. Roll positions are VL-corrected for PA=348 degrees.
