Rapid Disappearance of Penumbra-Like Features near a Flaring Polarity Inversion Line: The Hinode Observations

Figure 2

A map of line-of-sight component of the magnetic field (a) and the corresponding continuum image (b) obtained from spectropolarimeter onboard Hinode on June 06, 2007 at 22:57 UT. The arrow indicates the position of PLFs. P and N represent the positive and negative polarity regions. A dark line between negative and positive polarity represents the position of the polarity inversion line. The scales are in unit of pixel.
