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: The Hinode Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) is the first space-borne visible-light telescope that enables us to observe magnetic field dynamics in the solar lower atmosphere with 0.2 -0.3 arcsec spatial resolution under extremely stable (seeing-free) conditions.

TL;DR: Hinode X-ray Telescope observations of a solar active region report a pattern of continuous outflow of soft-x-ray–emitting plasmas emanating along apparently open magnetic field lines and into the upper corona that may be indicative of one of the solar wind sources at the Sun.

TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic landscape of the polar region of the Sun was observed using the Solar Optical Telescope aboard Hinode, and the field vectors were observed to diverge from the centers of the flux elements, consistent with a view of magnetic fields that are expanding and fanning out with height.
