This book includes four chapters devoted to techniques and interpretation of solar observations. The chapter on high spatial resolution techniques considers...
Solar oscillations as seen in the NaI and KI absorption lines
Data on the solar p modes observed simultaneously in the solar NaI and KI absorption lines were obtained in 1985 by operating two independent resonant...
Spectroscopic determination of intensities of umbral bright features and adjacent background
Profiles of the Na I D doublet in three bright features (clusters of umbral dots), located in a relatively dark umbra, were analyzed by means of the 'local two...
The continuum intensity-magnetic field relation in sunspot umbrae
We describe the work carried out to obtain observational evidence of a local relation between the temperature and the magnetic field in different regions of...
The coronal heating problem: why MHD waves are trendy
The coronal heating problem has been with us for almost 70 years now. Among the different proposed explanations, wave-based heating mechanisms are recurrently...
The COSMO Chromosphere and Prominence Magnetometer
The Chromosphere and Prominence Magnetometer (ChroMag) is a synoptic instrument with the goal of quantifying the intertwined dynamics and magnetism of the solar...
The Impact of Angle-dependent Partial Frequency Redistribution on the Scattering Polarization of the Solar Na I D Lines
The long-standing paradox of the linear polarization signal of the Na I D 1 line was recently resolved by accounting for the atom's hyperfine structure and the...
The Impact of Limited Time Resolution on the Forward-scattering Polarization in the Solar Sr I 4607 Å Line
Theoretical investigations predicted that high spatiotemporal resolution observations in the Sr I 4607 Å line must show a conspicuous scattering polarization...
