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.
