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 properties of penumbral microjets inclination

J. Jurcak, Y. Katsukawa

We investigate the dependence of penumbral microjets inclination on the position within penumbra. The high cadence observations taken on 10 November 2006 with the Hinode satellite…

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…

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…

On-orbit Performance of the Solar Optical Telescope aboard Hinode

K. Ichimoto, Y. Katsukawa, T. Tarbell +8

On-orbit performance of the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) aboard Hinode is described with some attentions on its unpredicted aspects. In general, SOT revealed an excellent performa…
