Spectroscopic observations of the emission lines formed in the solar transition region (TR) commonly show persistent downflows of the order of 10--15 km/s. The cause of such downflows, however, is still not fully clear and has remained a…

We have previously found a temperature-dependent upflow in the dimming region following a coronal mass ejection (CME) observed by the {\it Hinode} EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS). In this paper, we reanalyzed the observations along with…

We observed small scale magnetic flux emergence in a sunspot moat region by the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) aboard the Hinode satellite. We analyzed filtergram images observed in the wavelengths of Fe 6302 angstrom, G-band and Ca II H. In…

We carry out high resolution calculations of the solar overshoot region with unprecedentedly realistic parameters, especially the small energy flux compared with $\rho c^3_\mathrm{s}$, where $\rho$ and $c_\mathrm{s}$ are density and speed…
