Abstract
We have calibrated and aligned a co-spatial and co-temporal 3 hour quiet sun time series taken with the Hinode and IRIS satellites. Hinode SOT observed full Stokes profiles of the Fe I 630 line pairs with the Spectro-polarimeter (SP) scanning a 8.7 arcsec region with a cadence of about 70 seconds. The Broadband Filter Imager (BFI) observed in Ca II H with a cadence of 31 s which was complemented by magnetograms and dopplergrams constructed from Na D I 589,6 nm measurements observed by the Narrowband Filter Imager (NFI). The IRIS satellite recorded slit jaw images centered at 2832 Å (112 s cadence), 1390 Å (23 s) and with a cadence of 19 s at 2796 Å. The spectrograph recorded spectra in several passbands including the Mg II k and h lines performing a 2 step raster with a 9.5 s step cadence. We study magnetic elements seen in SP and NFI data undergoing a magnetic field intensification process accompanied by the development of bright points in the Ca II H images which we identify as convective collapse events. In addition we study pairs of magnetic elements involved in flux cancellation. The magnetic elements pass the IRIS slit at different stages of these processes. The IRIS Magnesium lines spectra are analyzed to investigate the response of the chromosphere to the magnetic events in the photosphere below. We present the temporal evolution of the atmospheric parameters from the photosphere to the transition region during these occurrences and compare the results to convective collapse and flux cancellation models.
