TL;DR: The solar optical telescope (SOT) as discussed by the authors is a 50-cm diffraction-limited Gregorian telescope with the Stokes Spectro-Polarimeter (SP) attached to it.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Solar Optical Telescope for the Hinode Mission: An Overview
TL;DR: The Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) as mentioned in this paper is a 50 cm diffraction-limited Gregorian telescope, and includes the narrow-band (NFI) and wideband (BFI) filtergraphs.
Journal ArticleDOI
A loop-top hard X-ray source in a compact solar flare as evidence for magnetic reconnection
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the reconnection region as the site of particle acceleration, suggesting that the basic physics of the magnetic reconnection process may be common to both types of flares.
Journal ArticleDOI
