Study of Coronal Rotation using X-ray images observed by Hinode
Abstract
Solar rotation is still one of the unresolved concern of solar physics. We performed time series analysis on the bins formed on equally separated latitude regions on the soft X-ray images. These images are observed with the X-ray telescope (XRT) on board the Hinode satellite. The flux modulation method traces the passage of X-ray feature over the solar disc and statistical analysis of the time series data of the SXR images (one per day) for the period extends from year 2015 to 2017 gives the coronal rotation period as a function of latitude. The investigation provided quite systematic information of the solar rotation and its variability.
