We investigate the possibility of measuring magnetic field strength in G-band bright points through the analysis of Zeeman polarization in molecular CH lines...
Theoretical formulation of Doppler redistribution in scattering polarization within the framework of the velocity-space density matrix formalism
Within the framework of the density matrix theory for the generation and transfer of polarized radiation, velocity density matrix correlations represent an...
Three-dimensional modeling of chromospheric spectral lines in a simulated active region
Context. Because of the complex physics that governs the formation of chromospheric lines, interpretation of solar chromospheric observations is difficult. The...
Three-dimensional Radiative Transfer Modeling of the Polarization of the Sun's Continuous Spectrum
Polarized light provides the most reliable source of information at our disposal for diagnosing the physical properties of astrophysical plasmas, including the...
Three-dimensional Radiative Transfer Simulations of the Scattering Polarization of the Hydrogen Lyα Line in a Magnetohydrodynamic Model of the Chromosphere–Corona Transition Region
Probing the magnetism of the upper solar chromosphere requires measuring and modeling the scattering polarization produced by anisotropic radiation pumping in...
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...
Time series of high resolution photospheric spectra in a quiet region of the Sun. II. Analysis of the variation of physical quantities of granular structures
From the inversion of a time series of high resolution slit spectrograms obtained from the quiet sun, the spatial and temporal distribution of the...
Time-resolved infrared emission from radiation-driven central obscuring structures in active galactic nuclei
The central engines of Seyfert galaxies are thought to be enshrouded by geometrically thick gas and dust structures. In this paper, we derive observable...
Two-dimensional Radiative Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Partial Ionization in the Chromosphere. II. Dynamics and Energetics of the Low Solar Atmosphere
We investigate the effects of interactions between ions and neutrals on the chromosphere and overlying corona using 2.5D radiative MHD simulations with the...
