The Yohkoh Mission


The Yohkoh Mission is a Japanese Solar mission with many US collaborators. Among the instruments on this orbiting spacecraft is a soft x-ray imager that obtains images with a 512X512 CCD detector. MSFC Solar Physics Branch members Ron Moore and Jason Porter are involved in analyzing some of these images to determine the nature of the magnetic connections in the solar atmosphere and characteristics of flare-like activity.

The most recent Yohkoh image can be obtained from the GSFC Solar Data Analysis Center.
