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…
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…
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…
Emergence of a Helical Flux Rope Under an Active Region Prominence
Takenori J. Okamoto, Saku Tsuneta, Bruce W. Lites +12
Continuous observations were obtained of active region 10953 with the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) on board the \emph{Hinode} satellite during 2007 April 28 to May 9. A prominence…
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…
