The loopy Sun: resolving the small-scale solar magnetism
Solar magnetism may look deceptively boring (a rather common star with relatively low activity). As it turns out, even the most quiet areas of the Sun (away...
The Polarization of the Solar Ba II D<SUB>1</SUB> Line with Partial Frequency Redistribution and Its Magnetic Sensitivity
We investigate the main physical mechanisms that shape the intensity and polarization of the Ba II D 1 line at 4934 Å via radiative transfer numerical...
Using a resonant scattering spectrometer, observations of integral solar light have been recorded and analyzed to determine the existence of solar oscillations...
The Sun is a magnetic star, not as magnetic as some stars, or as it was when itwas younger, but nonetheless magnetic fields dominate and even construct...
TIC: A Stokes Inversion Code for Scattering Polarization with Partial Frequency Redistribution and Arbitrary Magnetic Fields
We present the Tenerife Inversion Code (TIC), which has been developed to infer the magnetic and plasma properties of the solar chromosphere and transition...
Velocity fields associated with the magnetic component of solar faculae
Theoretical models are developed to account for the asymmetries observed by Stenflo et al. (1984) in the Stokes V profiles of solar faculae. The approximate...
Vortex flows, related to solar convective turbulent dynamics at granular scales and their interplay with magnetic fields within intergranular lanes, occur...
Wave Conversion, Decay, and Heating in a Partially Ionized Two-fluid Magneto-atmosphere
A ray-theoretic phase-space description of linear waves in a two-fluid (charges and neutrals) magnetized plasma is used to calculate analytic decay rates and...
