Description
The Hinode Solar Optical Telescope Spectro-Polarimeter (SOT-SP) Level 0 FITS dataset consists of uncalibrated FITS files generated from spacecraft telemetry. The dataset contains spectro-polarimetric observations of the Fe I 630.15 nm and 630.25 nm spectral lines obtained with a slit spectrograph and polarization modulation system. The Level 0 FITS products preserve detector-oriented spectro-polarimetric measurements prior to scientific calibration and inversion processing. The observations include wavelength, slit spatial dimensions, polarization beam information, and Stokes measurements used for subsequent derivation of solar magnetic-field parameters. Hinode is a Japanese mission developed and operated by JAXA in collaboration with NAOJ, NASA, STFC (UK), and international partners.

Description
Four-dimensional uncalibrated spectro-polarimetric data from the Hinode SOT Spectro-Polarimeter, organized by spectral dimension, spatial dimension along the slit, CCD side, and Stokes parameter. Typical spatial sampling along the slit is approximately 0.16 arcsec per pixel. Typical scan-direction sampling is approximately 0.16 arcsec in normal map mode and 0.32 arcsec in fast map mode.
