Description
This paper presents semiempirical models of various solar magnetic structures, extending from the photosphere to the chromosphere. The models have been derived from non-LTE inversions of high-resolution spectropolarimetric observations of four Ca II and Fe I lines. The observed targets are dark and bright components of a sunspot umbra; dark and bright components of a sunspot penumbra; a canopy between two sunspots; a facula; and a network element. These models may be employed, e.g., to compute realistic synthetic Stokes spectra of photospheric and chromospheric lines.
