IAS Hinode Data WorkshopThursday 15-November-2007 “Where can I find observations of a sunspot at the limb”? * Web-based search tools: Lockheed “Knowledge Base: http://sot.lmsal.com/sot-data Based on “VOEvent” metadata. Still in development. ISAS Japan: http://www.isas.jaxa.jp/home/solar/hinode_op/ Go to “Monthly Events” At top of page: “HOP List” Check the HOP List for observations similar to yours. Ask the HOP contact if they got good data.

4. IAS Hinode Data WorkshopThursday 15-November-2007 FG Photometric corrections: Level-0 ⇒ Level-1 Camera readout errors: fg_shift_pix.pro Central rows of camera dropped in full-camera readout. Top columns wrapped around. Dark current and pedestal subtraction: fg_dark_sub.pro FG camera 4096 x 2048 split-frame read-out: 2048x2048 frames. Each has different pedestal. Pedestal is temperature dependent. Linear combination of camera and electronics box temperatures. Flat field correction: fg_flatfield.pro Flat fields are created by Kuhn-Lin algorithm. Currently there are flat images only for  CN 388.3 (also used for Ca II H-line images)  G-band 430.5  Blue continuum 450.5  Green continuum 555.0  Red continuum 668.4 (has bright ghost near image center)  Fe I 630.2  Na ID 589.6  Mg Ib 517.3  H-alpha 656.3 Bad camera pixel correction via map in SSWDB (not fully implemented): fg_bad_pix.pro Cosmic ray removal: sot_nospike.pro Correction for BFI/NFI plate-scale difference and image shifts: fg_reg_wave.pro Avg. Pedestal = 192Avg. Pedestal = 187 G-band 430.5 nm Flatfield
