PublicationNon-LTE Inversions of the Mg II h & k and UV Triplet Lines
The Mg ii h & k lines are powerful diagnostics for studying the solar chromosphere. They have become particularly popular with the launch of the Interface...

PublicationNon-LTE Model Atmospheres for Late-Type Stars. I. A Collection of Data for Light Neutral and Singly Ionized Atoms
With the goal of producing a reliable set of model atoms and singly ionized ions for use in building NLTE model atmospheres, we have combined measured energy...

PublicationNon-LTE Model Atmospheres for Late-Type Stars. II. Restricted Non-LTE Calculations for a Solar-like Atmosphere
We test our knowledge of the atomic opacity in the solar UV spectrum. Using the atomic data compiled in the first paper in this series from modern, publicly...

PublicationNonequilibrium CO Chemistry in the Solar Atmosphere
Investigating the reliability of the assumption of instantaneous chemical equilibrium (ICE) for calculating the CO number density in the solar atmosphere is of...

PublicationNovel framework for the three-dimensional NLTE inverse problem
The inversion of spectropolarimetric observations of the solar upper atmosphere is one of the most challenging goals in solar physics. If we account for all...

PublicationObservation and Modeling of Anomalous CN Polarization Profiles Produced by the Molecular Paschen-Back Effect in Sunspots
We report novel spectropolarimetric observations of sunspots carried out with the Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter in a near-IR spectral region around 15410 Å...

PublicationObservation and Modeling of the Circular Polarization of the Cr I Magnetic-field-induced Transition at 533.03 nm
We study the circular polarization of the magnetic-field-induced transition (MIT) between the 3d 5( 6 S)4d 7 D 2 and 3d 5( 6 S)4p 7 P 4° states of Cr I at 533...

PublicationObservation of Convective Collapse and Upward-moving Shocks in the Quiet Sun
We present spectropolarimetric evidence of convective collapse and destruction of magnetic flux by upward-moving fronts in the quiet Sun. The observational...
