Temporal Relation between Disappearance of Penumbral Fine-Scale Structure and Evershed Flow
M. Kubo, K. Ichimoto, B. W. Lites +1
We investigate the temporal relation between the Evershed flow, dot-like bright features (penumbral grain), the complex magnetic field structure, and dark lanes (dark core) along b…
Prominence Formation Associated with an Emerging Helical Flux Rope
Takenori J. Okamoto, Saku Tsuneta, Bruce W. Lites +12
The formation and evolution process and magnetic configuration of solar prominences remain unclear. In order to study the formation process of prominences, we examine continuous ob…
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…
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…
