Description:
Scientific Objectives: Hinode provides a unique opportunity to track the flow of energy into the transition region and corona from the photosphere. The EIS instrument is particularly well suited to observing the release of energy over a wide range of temperatures at high temporal resolution. We propose that Hinode perform an extended observation of the quiet Sun using a combination of high cadence EIS 40hslot movies, SOT magnetograms and filtergrams, and XRT filter images. The focus of these observations is on highly dynamic transient heating events presumably driven by magnetic flux cancelation on small spatial scales. This high cadence study complements the 72 hour study proposed by PRequest to SOT HOP Number 0060 . NFI magnetograms matched (approximately) to the EIS slot movie field of view, 70s cadence. . BFI filtergrams in Ca II and G]band, EIS slot movie field of view, 70s cadence. eter Young to study the evolution of the quiet Sun over longer time periods.
