Solar Physics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies solar activity using the solar telescopes at Hida Observatory.
AboutAbout the lab
Approaching the true face of the Sun with telescopes.
The Solar Physics group studies the structure of the solar atmosphere and solar activity phenomena.
Its work centers on high-resolution observations using the 60 cm Domeless Solar Telescope and the Solar Magnetic Activity Research Telescope at the affiliated Hida Observatory.
The group also carries out joint observations and analysis with the Hinode satellite, NASA's extreme ultraviolet solar satellite, and solar telescopes at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and overseas.
Key terms
- Chromosphere
- A thin layer of atmosphere just above the Sun's surface (the photosphere).
- Corona
- The outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, with temperatures exceeding 1 million degrees.
- Solar flare
- An explosion on the Sun's surface in which energy stored in the magnetic field is released all at once.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts research on the structure of the solar atmosphere and on solar activity phenomena. This research is also fundamental to the study of magnetized plasma activity in stars and galaxies.
