Introduction to HINOTORI

  • Conference paper
Recent Advances in the Understanding of Solar Flares

Abstract

The HINOTORI mission is dedicated to solar flare observations mainly in the X-ray energy band. The instruments on board conduct (1) hard X-ray imaging of solar flares by means of rotating modulation collimators, (2) wide energy band spectroscopy in the range from 2 keV to several MeV as well as (3) high resolution crystal spectroscopy of iron emission lines. Several hundred flares have been recorded and analyses are under way. A description of HINOTORI and the characteristics of the instruments are presented.
