Hinode Data Compared with other Solar Telescopes
|
|
These two images were taken on Nov-1-2006 at 06:30UT. On the right is TRACE 171Å image, and on the left a Hinode/XRT Al/poly image. The active region in the field of view is a small unnumbered region in the southeastern quadrant of the otherwise quiet Sun. The arrows point to the same locations in the two images. Notice the complementarity of these two instruments: the XRT image (showing emission from plasma at about 2-4 million degrees) can be bright (dark) where TRACE (sensitive to emission from 1 million degree plasma) is dark (bright).
