TLDR
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.Abstract:
The Hinode satellite (formerly Solar-B) of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS/JAXA) was successfully launched in September 2006. As the successor to the Yohkoh mission, it aims to understand how magnetic energy gets transferred from the photosphere to the upper atmosphere and results in explosive energy releases. Hinode is an observatory style mission, with all the instruments being designed and built to work together to address the science aims. There are three instruments onboard: the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT), the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS), and the X-Ray Telescope (XRT). This paper provides an overview of the mission, detailing the satellite, the scientific payload, and operations. It will conclude with discussions on how the international science community can participate in the analysis of the mission data.read more

The development of lower-atmosphere turbulence early in a solar flare
TL;DR: The first observational study of the onset and evolution of solar flare turbulence in the lower solar atmosphere on an unprecedented time scale of 1.7 s is presented, suggesting that turbulence partly heats the lower atmosphere.

On the Estimate of Magnetic Non-potentiality of Sunspots Derived Using Hinode SOT/SP Observations: Effect of Polarimetric Noise
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of polarimetric noise on the inference of the magnetic field vector and the magnetic non-potentiality of a real sunspot was studied, where the Hinode SOT/SP vector magnetogram was used to generate synthetic Stokes profiles under ME model assumptions.

What is a Macrospicule
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on a subpopulation of solar jets that undergo parabolic trajectories when observed in the He II 304 A line using high-cadence observations of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).

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.

Sigmoidal morphology and eruptive solar activity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the Yohkoh Soft X-Ray Telescope video movie for 1993 and 1997 and found that regions are significantly more likely to be eruptive if they are either sigmoidal or large.

Statistical Study of Solar X-Ray Jets Observed with the YOHKOH Soft X-Ray Telescope
TL;DR: In this article, a statistical study of 100 X-ray jets, found from the database of full Sun images taken with the Soft X-Ray Telescope (SXT) aboard Yohkoh during the period between November 1991 and April 1992, was conducted.
