Structure and components of an LTE stellar atmosphere model
We summarize in this paper the principles for the algorithmic representation of the structure of a stellar atmosphere. The physical analysis of the problem...
Structure of Plage Flux Tubes from the Inversion of Stokes Spectra. I. Spatially Averaged Stokes I and V Profiles
We present results of the inversion of spatially averaged Stokes I and V profiles emerging from plage regions near disk center. The observations analyzed in...
Synthesis of infrared Stokes spectra in an evolving solar chromospheric jet
Chromospheric jets are plausible agents of energy and mass transport in the solar chromosphere, although their driving mechanisms have not yet been elucidated...
Temporal Evolution of the Scattering Polarization of the Ca II IR Triplet in Hydrodynamical Models of the Solar Chromosphere
Velocity gradients in a stellar atmospheric plasma have an effect on the anisotropy of the radiation field that illuminates each point within the medium, and...
Testing evolutionary tracks of Pre-Main Sequence stars: the case of HD113449
Evolutionary tracks are of key importance for the understanding of star formation. Unfortunately, tracks published by various groups differ so that it is...
The Aurora radiation-hydrodynamical simulations of reionization: calibration and first results
We introduce a new suite of radiation-hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation and reionization called Aurora. The Aurora simulations make use of a...
The Circular Polarization of the Mn 1 Resonance Lines around 280 nm for Exploring Chromospheric Magnetism
We study the circular polarization of the Mn I resonance lines at 279.56, 279.91, and 280.19 nm (hereafter, UV multiplet) by means of radiative transfer...
The density matrix approach to polarized radiative transfer
The density matrix approach to polarized radiative transfer is reviewed, with particular emphasis on the physical assumptions that are at the basis of the...
