Abstract
Onboard the Solar Orbiter spacecraft is the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (SO/PHI), which has two telescopes, a high resolution telescope (HRT) and the full disk telescope (FDT). The instrument is designed to infer the photospheric magnetic field through differential imaging of the polarised light emitted from the Sun. It is the first magnetograph to move out of the Sun-Earth Line, providing excellent stereoscopic opportunities with other ground and space based instruments. Of particular interest is the comparison between SO/PHI-HRT and the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO/HMI). They probe the same magnetically sensitive line of Fe1: 6173 Å and have the same aperture diameter. In March 2022 Solar Orbiter crossed the Sun-Earth line, providing an excellent opportunity for a comparison. Here a comparison between the magnetic fields, both line-of-sight and all three vector components, inferred by SDO/HMI and SO/PHI-HRT during the conjunction, are presented.
