Emission Line Imaging Spectroscopy for Diagnosing of Solar Outer Atmospheres

Watanabe, Tetsuya; EIS Team

The Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer on board the Japanese Sun Observing Satellite “Hinode” realizes the highest sensitivity ever achieved in the two EUV wavelengths of 17-21 nm and 25-29 nm. EIS will be able to provide the detailed diagnostic information on solar corona and transition region. A new tool of timedependent collisonal-radiati…

Hinode: A New Solar Observatory in Space

Hara, Hirohisa

The third Japanese solar observing satellite, SOLAR-B, was launched on 2006 Sep 23 from the Uchinoura Space Center of JAXA and it was named “Hinode” (sunrise). Hinode carries three major telescopes: Solar Optical Telescope (SOT), X-Ray Telescope (XRT), and Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS). These telescopes have been built in an inter…
