TL;DR: The Hinode satellite as discussed by the authors is the successor to the Yohkoh mission, which aims to understand how magnetic energy gets transferred from the photosphere to the upper atmosphere and results in explosive energy releases.

TL;DR: The EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) as mentioned in this paper is a two-element, normal incidence design with a backside-illuminated, thinned CCD, which has a significantly greater effective area than previous orbiting EUV spectrographs with typical active region 2 -5 s exposure times in the brightest lines.

TL;DR: In this paper, a description of the lines from the most abundant ions in the EUV spectrum in the range 50-500 A that have special diagnostic significance is presented, which are from plasmas in the temperature range from 10 exp 5 to 10 exp 7 K. Their utility for determining temperature, density and abundances is demonstrated.

TL;DR: A list of emission lines recommended to be included in EIS observation studies is presented in this article based on analysis of blending and diagnostic potential using the CHIANTI atomic database, identifying the most useful density diagnostics from the ions covered by EIS.
