CaX), which is the highest ionization stage of a chemical element ever discovered in a photospheric stellar spectrum.
In introducing 54 papers that presented a sample of its first results and related theoretical models at the 2007 ASP conference, Matthews (UCL Mullard Space Science Laboratory, Surrey, UK) and coauthors from NASA and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan explain Hinode's mission to provide information on how solar magnetic fields are formed, evolve, and interact with plasmas to create the photospheric and chromospheric phenomena observed.
Eighty contributions are organized into sections on photospheric magnetism, radiative transfer methods and inversion techniques, new solar polarimeters and techniques, atomic spectro- polarimetry, theory of collisional polarization, laboratory experiments and molecular spectro-polarimetry, stellar spectro- polarimetry, and chromospheric electromagnetism.
