Chromospheric Anemone Jets as Evidence of Ubiquitous Reconnection
Kazunari Shibata, Tahei Nakamura, Takuma Matsumoto +19
The heating of the solar chromosphere and corona is a long-standing puzzle in solar physics. Hinode observations show the ubiquitous presence of chromospheric anemone jets outside…
Magnetic Landscape of Sun's Polar Region
S. Tsuneta, K. Ichimoto, Y. Katsukawa +11
We present the magnetic landscape of the polar region of the Sun that is unprecedented in terms of high spatial resolution, large field of view, and polarimetric precision. These o…
The intensity contrast of solar granulation: comparing Hinode SP results with MHD simulations
S. Danilovic, A. Gandorfer, A. Lagg +5
The contrast of granulation is an important quantity characterizing solar surface convection. We compare the intensity contrast at 630 nm, observed using the Spectro-Polarimeter (S…
Frequent Occurrence of High-speed Local Mass Downflows on the Solar Surface
T. Shimizu, B. W. Lites, Y. Katsukawa +7
We report on new spectro-polarimetric measurements with simultaneous filter imaging observation, revealing the frequent appearance of polarization signals indicating high-speed, pr…
Relationships between magnetic foot points and G-band bright structures
R. Ishikawa, S. Tsuneta, Y. Kitakoshi +6
Magnetic elements are thought to be described by flux tube models, and are well reproduced by MHD simulations. However, these simulations are only partially constrained by observat…
The Solar Optical Telescope for the Hinode Mission: An Overview
S. Tsuneta
The Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) aboard the Hinode satellite (formerly called Solar-B) consists of the Optical Telescope Assembly (OTA) and the Focal Plane Package (FPP). The OTA…
