Abstract

Magnetic bright points (MBPs) are among the most fascinating and interesting manifestations of small-scale solar magnetic fields.
In the present work the temporal evolution of MBPs is followed in data sets taken by the Hinode satellite. The analysed data and obtained results confirm a recently presented study done with Sunrise/IMaX data, namely that MBPs are features undergoing fast evolution with magnetic fields starting around the equipartition field strength, then showing strong downflows (between 2 to 4 km/s) causing the magnetic field to amplify into the kG range (700 to 1500 G) before dissolving again. Furthermore the initial field inclinations depend on the initial magnetic field strengths and show an evolution with more vertical angles at some point during the evolution.
