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…
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…
Transient horizontal magnetic fields in solar plage regions
R. Ishikawa, S. Tsuneta, K. Ichimoto +9
We report the discovery of isolated, small-scale emerging magnetic fields in a plage region with the Solar Optical Telescope aboard Hinode. Spectro-polarimetric observations were c…
Coronal transverse magnetohydrodynamic waves in a solar prominence
T. J. Okamoto, S. Tsuneta, T. E. Berger +10
Solar prominences are cool 10 Kelvin plasma clouds supported in the surrounding 10 Kelvin coronal plasma by as-yet undetermined mechanisms. Observations from \emph{Hinode}…
