Do You Know Hinode?

Communicating Solar Satellite Hinode Data to the Public Kentaro Yaji[Rikkyo University/Japan] CAP 2010 Conference (2010/3/15 -19, Cape Town)

Today’s Outline What is Hinode Satellite? Review Hinode Observation Results Public Use of Hinode Data Product/Release DVDs with Hinode Data Public Impact of DVD Educational Materials Future Works Summary

Do you Know Hinode? is Japanese Solar Observertion Satellite means “SUNRISE” in Japanese. was launched in 2006, September. EUV has 3 instruments onboard, in Visible light, X-ray, EUV solves mystery of colonal heating and origin of magnetic fields. is in-orbit now and observing the sun. X-ray Visible Light

Sunspot & Granulation

Prominence

Solar Corona in X-ray JAXA/NAOJ

Solar Flare

Hinode Data is very important, for not only investigating solar phenomena but also giving new knowledge about the sun to the public and the educational communities. NAOJ Hinode Science Center PAONET Public Use of Hinode Data Working Group Collaboration!!

Public Use of Hinode Data We organizied Working Group “PAONET Public Use of Hinode Data” As Background, 1. Hinode Data Analysis Workshop (before Hinode Launch) Encourage Educators/Amateurs in attending at this WS. Discussion Hinode EPO between Educators/Researchers 2. PAONET(Public Astronomical Observatory NETwork) One of Astronomical Educational Communities in Japan Has some working groups for attainment of varous goals and projects. Hinode Project Leader gave a special lecture at the annual meeting in 2005. The Educators/Researchers had a chance to exchange EPO information each other.

PAOHINODE WG Members started in 2006. Educators(8) Noritaka Tokimasa Hiromichi Gan Daisuke Suzuki Wataru Egoshi Mikizo Takeuchi Takayuki Honma Kazuyuki Saitoh Takeshi Kamitamari Reseachers(5) Masumi Shimojo Kentaro Yaji* Hideaki Tonooka Tomomi Shimoikura* Akika Nakamichi* (* worked as educators once) • Collaborating with Hinode Team in NAOJ(money, PCs, etc) • 4 -5 Meetings every year and Discussions by Mailing List • It is a peculiar point that many educators attend on the WG, which draw an interchange between educators/researchers and promote various type of EPO activities in the collaboration.

The First DVD ”The Sun Captured by Hinode ” Released in 2008 Mainly for Educators to Communicate Hinode Data to the Public. DVD Video part/DVD Rom part Short(2 m 36 s)/Long(16 min) Movie Introduction of Initial Hinode Observation Results Containing Quiz regarding Eclipse/Mercury Transit Full High Definition Movies(1920 x 1080) are contained. English Version is also available. If someone wants the DVD, please contact me. But, Limited to 100 DVDs.

Top Menu of The First DVD

The Second DVD “Approach to Solar Mystery” Released in 2009 spring Produced for more efficient use of Exhibition at the Planetarium/Museums. Four Movies, one of them is for Kids. Distributed to Junior high/elementary schools (42, 000) in Japan as an enclosure of science magazine. Had “Solar Campaign” for positive use(37 facilities) Now, Uploaded to You. Tube(Sorry, Voice is in Japanese)

DVD “Approach to Solar Mystery Four video movies (five miniutes) Gift from The Sun The figure of Eclipse Pursue Mystery of the Corona Gift from The Sun Predict Solar Flare

How to Apply DVDs Lesson in Schools/Universities Training School Teachers Exhibition at the Museums/Planetariums @ Osaka Science Museum Public Lectures Open House at Observatories/Labolatories es Study for Educators themselves @ Nishi-harima Observatory

• Public Impact? We had two questionnaires survey to confirm the efficiency of the First DVD Contents. 1. How was the DVD used at the educational facilities? • 46 Educators Answered. 2. How was the DVD Understood by public guest at the Educational facilities? • At 6 Public Observatories and Museums, 147 Audiences Answered. (Shimoikura 2009)

How was the DVD used? Q 4 -2 Did you learn anything from the DVD?

How was the DVD Understood? Q 1 -3 What do you think after watching the DVD? Q 3 -1 Could you understand the solar structure? Q 2 -1 Do you know Japan launched Hinode? Q 3 -2 Could you understand the corona has higher temperature than the solar surface?

Public Impact! The questionnaires survey says, - The Educators/Audiences are highly satisfied with the DVD Contents. - The DVD contents are effective for education and public outreach.

Educational Materials(1)- Junior High School - This worksheet was used on my special talk in the local junior high school.

Educational Materials(2)- High School Developed by N. Tokimasa, who belongs to public observatory Calculating velocity of Prominence Material falling dawn He instructed a student to this analisys and the students presented the astronomical meeting in Japan. (Tokimasa 2010)

Educational Materials(3)- University- “Solar Terrestrial Physics” In Department of Physics, 51 Students attended the lecture. Lecture Contents Hinode/Yohkoh’s Observation Results Solar Structures Solar Corona Solar Flare, Prominence, etc After this lecture, Students report and summarize the Lecture with this worksheet • Students’ Reports are very interesting in various comments. I also do this year.

Future Works With Hinode High Resolution Data, Planning Full-Dome Movie as Projected at the Planetarium Developing More Educational Materials Educational Observation Proposal We will have various things Towards Next Coming Solar Maximum.

Summary PAONET Public Use of Hinode Data WG Produce/Release two DVDs with Hinode data The DVD Contents Satisfied Educators and give high efficiency on EPO. Also, Promoting Other Activities ex) Educational Materials Our Activities are quite unique in collaborating Educators/Researchers each other. Our work might be a good reference for other EPO Activities.
