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…

Magnetic Flux Loss and Flux Transport in a Decaying Active Region

M. Kubo, B. W. Lites, T. Shimizu +1

We estimate the temporal change of magnetic flux perpendicular to the solar surface in a decaying active region by using a time series of the spatial distribution of vector magneti…

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…

Hinode Observations of Magnetic Elements in Internetwork Areas

A. G. de Wijn, B. W. Lites, T. E. Berger +3

We use sequences of images and magnetograms from Hinode to study magnetic elements in internetwork parts of the quiet solar photosphere. Visual inspection shows the existence of ma…

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…
