Hinode SOT Level 0 data
Overview
Description
This is the Hinode Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) Level-0 data.
The SOT includes the Filtergraph (FG) and Spectro-polarimeter (SP), along with the Correlation Tracker (CT) for image stabilization.
This dataset contains observation data by Filtergraph (FG) and Spectro-polarimeter (SP).
SOT-FG Level-0 data
This is the uncalibrated intensity and polarization data taken by the filtergraph, after having been reformatted from the raw bitstream. The unit of the file is one image with two- or three-dimension.
These data are stored in each observation date directory, like yyyy/mo/dd/<DataCode>/Hhh00/<FilePrefix>yyyymodd_hhmmss.s.fits.
yyyy: Year,mo: Month,dd: Day,hh: Hour,mm: Minutes,ss.s: SecondsHis character “H”, and00is charactor “00”<DataCode>and<FilePrefix>are strings that identifies the mode of observation, listed on this page.
SOT-SP Level-0 data
This is the reformatted “raw” 4D data (spectral x spatial x 2 CCDSIDES x 4 Stokes parameters). The unit of the file is one slit position, not one raster.
These data are stored in each observation date directory, like yyyy/mo/dd/<DataCode>/Hhh00/<DataCode>yyyymodd_hhmmss.s.fits.
yyyy: Year,mo: Month,dd: Day,hh: Hour,mm: Minutes,ss.s: SecondsHis character “H”, and00is charactor “00”<DataCode>is SP4D

Data search
HNODE Data Center on DARTS
About SOT-SP, this system searches for the MAP files, and output the path of Level-0 data files in a script to download data.
Data Analysis
Hinode data are freely available over the internet and each instrument team provides software written in IDL that is distributed through SolarSoftWare(SSW).
Other analysis tools and analysis guides are listed on this page.
