    Plasma Jets and Eruptions in Solar Coronal Holes: A Three-dimensional Flux Emergence Experiment
    A three-dimensional (3D) numerical experiment of the launching of a hot and fast coronal jet followed by several violent eruptions is analyzed in detail. These...

    Polarimetric Diagnostics of Unresolved Chromospheric Magnetic Fields
    For about a decade, spectropolarimetry of He I λ10830 has been applied to the magnetic diagnostics of the solar chromosphere. This resonance line is very...

    Polarimetry toward the IRAS Vela Shell. I. The Catalog
    We have obtained linear polarization measurements of stars along the western side of the IRAS Vela Shell toward HD 62542. From 16 CCD fields distributed along...

    Polarisation and magnetic fields in cool stars and the Sun. A session in memory of Meir Semel
    Astrophysical plasmas and magnetic fields are inextricably coupled to each other. But magnetic fields are elusive; they cannot be fully characterized with...
