Small-scale solar magnetic fields

A. G. de Wijn, J. O. Stenflo, S. K. Solanki +1

As we resolve ever smaller structures in the solar atmosphere, it has become clear that magnetism is an important component of those small structures. Small-scale magnetism holds t…

Comparison of transient horizontal magnetic fields in a plage region and in the quiet Sun

Ryohko Ishikawa, Saku Tsuneta

Properties of transient horizontal magnetic fields (THMFs) in both plage and quiet Sun regions are obtained and compared. Spectro-polarimetric observations with the Solar Optical T…

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…

Disintegration of Magnetic Flux in Decaying Sunspots as Observed with the Hinode SOT

M. Kubo, B. W. Lites, K. Ichimoto +8

Continuous observations of sunspot penumbrae with the Solar Optical Telescope aboard \textit{Hinode} clearly show that the outer boundary of the penumbra fluctuates around its aver…
