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…

Emergence of Small-Scale Magnetic Loops in the Quiet Sun Internetwork

R. Centeno, H. Socas-Navarro, B. Lites +11

We study the emergence of magnetic flux at very small spatial scales (less than 2 arcsec) in the quiet Sun internetwork. To this aim, a time series of spectropolarimetric maps was…
