We report on the dynamical interaction of quiet-Sun magnetic fields and granular convection in the solar photosphere as seen by Sunrise. We use high spatial resolution (0.″15–0.″18) and temporal cadence (33 s) spectropolarimetric Imaging Magnetograph eXperiment data, together with simultaneous CN and Ca ii H filtergrams from Sunrise Filter Imager

Aims:Motivated by recent observations of oscillations in coronal arcades, we investigate analytically the influence of longitudinal structuring on the modes of oscillation of a straight coronal loop arcade. As a first step towards more complicated models, we use a simple structure to obtain analytical solutions. Methods: A partial differential

In this paper we discuss the observational consequences of a dependence of meteor brightness on the entry angle z_R_, namely the decrease of the observed rates of meteors and the reduction of the population indices r for radiant zenith distances larger than zero. These effects, if not properly accounted for, lead to erroneous values of meteor

The Mg II chromospheric emissions in cool stars were analyzed using high resolution IUE archive spectra. The ways in which interstellar (IS) absorptions can affect the shapes of the chromospheric profiles are discussed. It is possible to indicate regions of the sky where the Mg II IS absorption can be neglected, up to distances of a few tens of
