SDO/HMI - The First Year
Abstract
The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) science operations phase began a year ago. During that time the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) team has made significant progress in developing calibration and data processing procedures. The new view of the Sun provided by SDO/HMI allows direct viewing of dynamic processes both in the interior and photospheric magnetic fields and brightness features. The extended team is now spending as much or even more time exploring the Sun than developing calibration and processing codes. Some highlights of the former and a quick status of the latter will be presented.
