Bibcode: 2015HiA....16..649Y Altcode: Extended Abstract Hinode is a solar observation satellite in Japan and its launch was in September 2006. Its name means ``SUNRISE`` in Japanese. It has three instruments onboard in visible light, X-ray, EUV to solve mystery of coronal heating and origins of magnetic fields.

Hinode has been providing us with impressive solar data, which are very important for not only investigating solar phenomena but also giving new knowledge about the sun to the public. In order to efficiently communicate Hinode data to the public, we organized working group for public use of Hinode data. which are composed of both researchers and educators in collaboration. As follow, we introduce our activities in brief.

For the public use of Hinode data, at first, we produced two DVDs introducing Hinode observation results. In particular, second DVD contains a movie for kids, which are devloped to picturebook. Now, it is under producing an illustrated book and a planetarium program. It turn out that the DVDs help the public understand the sun from questionnaire surveys. Second, we developed teaching materials from Hinode data and had a science classroom about the sun, solar observations, practice with PC such as imaging software at junior high school. As the results, they had much interests in Hinode data. Third, we have joint observations with high school students and so on in a few years. The students compare their own data with Hinode data and have a presentation at science contests. The joint observations make their motivation higher in their activities.

It is important to record and report our activities in some ways. So, we positively publish papers and have presentions in domestic/international meetings. Though we are supported in budget, resources and so on by NAOJ Hinode Team, we apply research funds for promoting our EPO activities and acquire some funds such as NAOJ Joint Research Expenses and Grands-Aid for Scientific Research Funds since the launch.

This way, since its launch, we have continued various and constant EPO activities for the public use of Hinode data and have been giving intense impacts and high interest to the public. As the result, our activities contribute in further extension of Hinode Mission. Those are quite unique and would be reference of other similar ones. Hinode is now operating and solar activities might get more higher.

As long as SUN RISE, we would GO FORWARD!! Title: Education and Public Outreach Activities with Hinode Satellite Data Authors: Yaji, K.; Tokimasa, N.; Shimojo, M.; Tonooka, H.; Nakamichi, A.; Suzuki, D. Bibcode: 2012ASPC..454..457Y Altcode: Hinode data are very important for not only investigating solar phenomena but also giving new knowledge about the sun to the public and the educational communities, such as public observatories, planetarium, science museum, and of course, schools. In order to help the educators to efficiently and actively use Hinode data, we organized working group for public use of Hinode data. It is a peculiar point that members of the working group are of both researchers and educators. That draw an interchange between researchers and educators, and promoting the various type of activities in collaboration. As our main activity, we have already produced two kinds of DVDs for introducing the observational results of Hinode. The DVDs have already been distributed to the educational communities in Japan. We made some kinds of surveys for educators to confirm the efficiency of the DVDs for education and public outreach. In addition, we use Hinode data to develop educational materials and carried out exhibitions at some museums. In such way, our activities might be quite unique in that researchers/educators collaborate each other and a new style of education and public outreach. In this paper , we introduce these activities in details and the public impact. Title: Super-Resolving THEMIS Data for Improved Temperature, Composition, and Spatial Resolution Authors: Hughes, C. G.; Ramsey, M. S.; Tonooka, H. Bibcode: 2007LPI....38.1810H Altcode: The current study investigates the applicability of a super-resolution algorithm to the fusion of THEMIS visible and infrared data, to enhance image interpretation and aid in the search for sub-pixel scale temperature and/or compositional anomalies. Title: Three-Dimensional MHD Simulations of the Emergence of Twisted Flux Tubes Authors: Matsumoto, R.; Tonooka, H.; Tajima, T.; Chou, W.; Shibata, K. Bibcode: 2000AdSpR..26..543M Altcode: We carried out three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the emergence of a twisted magnetic flux tube initially imbedded in the convection zone. When the magnetic twist exceeds a threshold value, the flux tube deforms itself into a helical structure through the kink instability. For sufficiently long wavelength perturbations (λp > 10H, where H is the local scale height), the flux tube also subjects to the undular mode of the magnetic buoyancy instability (Parker instability). The emergent portions of such helically deformed, undulating flux tube show a series of S-shaped X-ray emitting regions as observed by the Yohkoh satellite Title: Simultaneous Hα and X-ray Observations of Prominence Eruption and Disappearance Authors: Tonooka, H.; Matsumoto, R.; Miyaji, S.; Martin, S. F.; Canfield, R. C.; Reardon, K.; McAllister, A.; Shibata, K. Bibcode: 2000AdSpR..26..473T Altcode: Prominence eruptions or disappearances observed with an Hα limb filtergraph can be classified into 3 categories, the eruptive prominence, the quasi-eruptive prominence, and the disappearing prominence. We investigated their mechanism by comparing the results of simultaneous observations by Yohkoh SXT and Hα. We found that soft X-ray features change in both eruptive prominences and quasieruptive prominences, whereas no significant change takes place in disappearing prominences.In one prominence eruption event soft X-ray cusp structure suggests that the reconnection point is just below the Hα prominence Title: Temperature and emissivity separation from ASTER on EOS AM-1 - preflight validation by ASTER airborne simulator Authors: Rokugawa, S.; Matsunaga, T.; Tonooka, H.; Tsu, H.; Kannari, Y.; Okada, K. Bibcode: 1999AdSpR..23.1463R Altcode: The thermal infrared sensor of ASTER on EOS AM-1 will provide surface kinetic temperature and spectral emissivity. The temperature and emissivity separation(TES) algorithm of ASTER is based on the empirical relation of emissivity spectra. Prior to this study, TES algorithm has been validated by spectrum of rock samples or low spectral resolution airborne field data. Thus this study is the first validation test of ASTER TES by using the actual TIR field data with very high spectral resolution. Newly developed ASTER airborne simulator(AAS) was used to obtain this kind of TIR data, which has the capability to obtain the multispectral TIR data with 0.2μm spectral resolution. The field test site was Cuprite, Nevada. The basaltic zone, silicified mountain and playa are typical targets of the flights. ASTER simulation data sets were synthesized from the AAS data. Then ASTER TES algorithm was applied to these simulation data to extract the temperature and the emissivity. These are compared with the actually measured spectral characteristics of samples. As the results, the derived emissivity spectra have a good agreement with those of sample data. Then the validity of ASTER TES algorithm was demonstrated.
