    Center-to-Limb Variation of Solar Three-dimensional Hydrodynamical Simulations
    We examine closely the solar center-to-limb variation of continua and lines and compare observations with predictions from both a three-dimensional (3D)...

    Characterizing the Purple Earth: Modeling the Globally Integrated Spectral Variability of the Archean Earth
    Ongoing searches for exoplanetary systems have revealed a wealth of planets with diverse physical properties. Planets even smaller than the Earth have already...

    Chromospheric Diagnosis with Ca II Lines: Forward Modeling in Forward Scattering. I
    This paper presents a synthetic tomography of the quiet solar chromosphere formed by spatial maps of scattering polarization. It has been calculated for the Ca...

    Chromospheric Polarization in the Photospheric Solar Oxygen Infrared Triplet
    We present multilevel radiative transfer modeling of the scattering polarization observed in the solar O i infrared triplet around 777 nm. We demonstrate that...

    Continuum Intensity and [O I] Spectral Line Profiles in Solar 3D Photospheric Models: The Effect of Magnetic Fields
    The importance of magnetic fields in three-dimensional (3D) magnetoconvection models of the Sun’s photosphere is investigated in terms of their influence on the...

    Determining the Magnetization of the Quiet Sun Photosphere from the Hanle Effect and Surface Dynamo Simulations
    The bulk of the quiet solar photosphere is thought to be significantly magnetized, due to the ubiquitous presence of a tangled magnetic field at subresolution...

    Diagnostics for spectropolarimetry and magnetography
    An assessment on the capabilities of modern spectropolarimeters and magnetographs is in order since most of our astrophysical results rely upon the accuracy of...
