Small magnetic elements Judith Palacios USO-SP SCHOOLStockholm-Tammsvik, 2010
USO Trainee in Utrecht : Facular contrast • Currently, PhD student at the University of Valencia, Spain • The rest of the team: Vicente Domingo (supervisor), Iballa Cabello, Laura Balmaceda • Topics: small magnetic elements, vortices, irradiance, SUNRISE/IMaX
Some propaganda... • Announcement of a 2-year POSTDOC position at the University of Valencia Some of the tasks: Explotation of SUNRISE/IMaX data and SO-PHI definition URGENT! SHOULD BE FILLED IN FEB!!
Hinode and SST data A quiet-Sun region on 2007, 29 Sept was selected in the center of the solar disk. A image set was restored from 08:40 UT to 09:20 UT. These data in G-band in SST were rotated and aligned with magnetograms of MgI and CN filtergrams from Hinode. The size of the area of interest (in coincidence with Hinode) is 19”18x74”09. P-modes were removed.

Small magnetic elements: recognition of GBPs These GBP were found by the method mentioned in Sánchez Almeida et al 2004. (GBP which appear in the reference frame, stay in an intergranular lane,and in 3 or more snapshots). The calculated area coverage for GBP in the surface is 0.26% . The area coverage in Sánchez Almeida et al is 0.5%
Small magnetic elements: recognition of BP in Hinode CN Multiple-level pattern recognition (MLT_4) of Bovelet, Wiehr 2007. This method was used to detect BP in CN band. Area coverage is 0.22%.
