Observations of vortex motion in the solar photosphere using HINODE-SP data    [PDF]

J. Palacios, L. A. Balmaceda, S. Vargas Domínguez, I. Cabello, V. Domingo

In this work, we focus in the magnetic evolution of a small region as seen by Hinode-SP during the time interval of about one hour. High-cadence LOS magnetograms and velocity maps were derived, allowing the study of different small-scale processes such as the formation/disappearance of bright points accompanying the evolution of an observed convective vortical motion.
