Abstract 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 …

The quiet Sun is the region of the solar surface outside of sunspots, pores, and plages. In
continuum intensity it appears dominated by granular convection. However, in polarized …

We present a series of models for the plasma properties along open magnetic flux tubes
rooted in solar coronal holes, streamers, and active regions. These models represent the …

Abstract An extension of Joint Phase Diverse Speckle image restoration is presented.
Multiple realizations of multiple objects having known wavefront relations with each other …

The impulsive phase of a solar flare marks the epoch of rapid conversion of energy stored in
the preflare coronal magnetic field. Hard X-ray observations imply that a substantial fraction …

Over the last two decades the uninterrupted, high resolution observations of the Sun, from
the excellent range of telescopes aboard many spacecraft complemented with observations …

The Sun's supergranulation refers to a physical pattern covering the surface of the quiet Sun
with a typical horizontal scale of approximately 30,000 km and a lifetime of around 1.8 d. Its …

As we resolve ever smaller structures in the solar atmosphere, it has become clear that
magnetism is an important component of those small structures. Small-scale magnetism …

Context. Magnetic reconnection in the deep solar atmosphere can give rise to enhanced
emission in the Balmer hydrogen lines, a phenomenon referred to as Ellerman bombs. Aims …

In this paper we study and modify previous semiempirical models of the solar photosphere
as observed at moderate spatial and temporal resolution (~ 3''and~ 30 minutes, respectively) …
