Intro#

This wikipage, for the workshop Flux Emergence in the Hinode Era, is where we're assembling descriptions of Hinode and concurrent observational data that show flux emergence on the Sun.

Purpose#

These are the suggested cases which will be investigated for the Flux Emergence Workshop in March. Please feel free to suggest additional instrumental data and relevant publications for these cases.

Table of observations#

Instrument Start Date/Time End Date/Time Comments
General Flux emerging in an existing active region. .

In Mark Cheung's words "streaming motion, appearance of bright points, pore formation/coalscence, penumbral formation"

HEK movies here.
The EIS data for this time series are spaced out due to eclipse season, and primarily consist of slot'n'stare series in the early part of the day, then context observations followed by narrow-FOV slit rasters with great temperature coverage. Before the VTT data, we have short 40" slot'n'stare movies (STA_LOOP_SLOT_LO) which show early evolution of the loop system.

There are several B-class flares in this region throughout the day

Data from the VTT in this time range show penumbral formation.
