Hinode carries three instruments: the Solar Optical Telescope, the X-Ray Telescope, and the EUV Imaging Spectrometer. These instruments were built under international collaboration with th…

Observations of photospheric magnetic structure below a dark filament using the Hinode Spectro-Polarimeter

Shimojo, Masumi; Yokoyama, Takaaki; Katsukawa, Yukio

The structure of the photospheric vector magnetic field below a dark filament on the Sun is studied using the observations of the Spectro-Polarimeter attached to the Solar Optical Telescope onboard Hinode. Special attention is paid to discriminating between two suggested models, a flux rope or a bent arcade. "Inverse polarity" orientation is possi…
