Small magnetic elements Judith Palacios USO-SP SCHOOL Stockholm-Tammsvik, 2010 USO Trainee in Utrecht : Facular contrast Currently, PhD student at the University of Valencia, Spain The rest of the team: Vicente Domingo (supervisor), Iballa Cabello, Laura Balmaceda Topics: small magnetic elements, vortices, irradiance, SUNRISE/IMaX Some propaganda... Announcement of a 2-year POSTDOC position at the University of Valencia of a 2-year POSTDOC position at the University of Valencia Some of the tasks: Explotation of SUNRISE/IMaX data and SO-PHI definition URGENT! SHOULD BE FILLED IN FEB!! Hinode and SST data A quiet-Sun region on 2007, 29 Sept was selected in the center of the solar disk. A image set was restored from 08:40 UT to 09:20 UT. These data in G-band in SST were rotated and aligned with magnetograms of MgI and CN filtergrams from Hinode. The size of the area of interest (in coincidence with Hinode) is 1918x7409. P-modes were removed. SST DATA PROCESSING Image restoration with MOMFBD (Multi-Frame Blind Deconvolution with Multiple Objects and Phase Diversity).

SST G-band and MDI magnetogram Small magnetic elements: recognition of GBPs These GBP were found by the method mentioned in Snchez Almeida et al (GBP which appear in the reference frame, stay in an intergranular lane,and in 3 or more snapshots). The calculated area coverage for GBP in the surface is 0.26%. The area coverage in Snchez Almeida et al is 0.5% Properties of GBP (SST) Small magnetic elements: recognition of BP in Hinode CN Multiple-level pattern recognition (MLT_4) of Bovelet, Wiehr This method was used to detect BP in CN band. Area coverage is 0.22%.
