Description
An analysis of high-resolution Stokes observations of two light bridges
in the active region NOAA 8990 is presented. The observations were
recorded with the La Palma Stokes Polarimeter attached to the Swedish
Vacuum Solar Telescope. The stratification of different physical
parameters is retrieved using the Stokes Inversion based on Response
functions (SIR). Our results confirm the decrease of magnetic field
strength and the increase of inclination in light bridges. We find a
complex temperature stratification in these structures Coming out from
the stratification of the magnetic field strength and the orientation of
the magnetic field vector, we suggest a canopy structure above the light
bridge. We derive the vertical component of electric current density
(Jz). The increase of Jz corresponds to
temperature enhancements that might be caused by the energy dissipation
stored in the magnetic field.
