Multi-wavelength observations of vortex-like flows in the photosphere using ground-based and space-borne telescopes

In this work we follow a series of papers on high-resolution observations of small-scale structures in the solar atmosphere \citep[][Cabello et al., in prep]{Balmaceda2009, Balmaceda2010, Vargas2011, Palacios2012, Domingo2012, Vargas2015}, combining several multi-wavelength data series. These were acquired by both ground-based (SST) and space-borne (Hinode) instruments during the joint campaign of the Hinode Operation Program 14, in September 2007. Diffraction-limited SST data were taken in the G-band and G-cont, and were restored by the MFBD technique. Hinode instruments, on the other hand, provided multispectral data from SOT-FG in the CN band, and Mg~{\sc I} and Ca {\sc II}~lines, as well as from SOT-SP in the Fe~{\sc I} line. In this series of works we have thoroughly studied vortex flows and their statistical occurrences, horizontal velocity fields by means of Local Correlation Tracking (LCT), divergence and vorticity. Taking advantage of the high-cadence and high spatial resolution data, we have also studied bright point statistics and magnetic field intensification, highlighting the importance of the smallest-scale magnetic element observations.
