Decaying active region 10942 is investigated from 4:00-16:00 UT on February 24, 2007 using a suite of EUV observing instruments. Results from Hinode/EIS, STEREO and TRACE show that although the active region has decayed and no sunspot is…
Recent observations from the Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on board Hinode have shown that low density areas on the periphery of active regions are characterized by strong blue-shifts at 1 MK. These Doppler shifts have been…

To explain the properties of the local galaxy population, theoretical models require active galactic nuclei (AGN) to inject energy into host galaxies, thereby expelling outflows of gas that would otherwise form stars. Observational tests of…
Plasma upflows with a Doppler shift exceeding -10 km/s at active region (AR) boundaries are considered potential sources of the nascent slow solar wind. We investigate the driving mechanisms of a pair of coronal upflow regions on the…

Coronal loops in active regions are the subjects of intensive investigation, but the important diffuse 'unresolved' emission in which they are embedded has received relatively little attention. Here we measure the densities and emission…
Spectroscopic observations with the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on Hinode have revealed large areas of high speed outflows at the periphery of many solar active regions. These outflows are of interest because they may connect to the…
