Magnetic skyrmions are topologically stabilized nanoscale spin structures that show promise for future spintronic devices. It was found very recently that during their dynamics a sizeable skyrmion Hall angle (SkHA) occurs that surprisingly depends on the skyrmion velocity. [1,2] Different theoretical models have been put forward for the creep [2] and viscous flow [1] regime. By X-ray microscopy, we investigate reproducible skyrmion trajectories at varying temperatures. We find that the angle is independent of the temperature when plotted against the skyrmion velocity and identify two different mechanisms that lead to distinctly different spin Hall angles in the creep and the flow regimes.
