Description
The measurement of the Sr I line with full polarimetry and spatial resolution with THEMIS has provided the unexpected result of an apparent correlation between the Hanle effect signals and the Zeeman effect signals on this line. Traditionnally, Hanle effect signals in linear polarisation have been interpreted as the signature of unorganized, turbulent fields, while Zeeman effect signals -mostly in circular polarisation- were interpreted as structured fields. The correlation between both observed by THEMIS requires a change of mind respect to the picture of the quiet sun, with fewer structured fields and a turbulent field visible also in deep magnetograms. This picture is supported also by recent results with Mn lines with strong coupling with its hyperfine structure and of center-to-limb histograms of Zeeman amplitudes.

    Co-phasing the distributed aperture of a Fizeau interferometer via photonic lanterns and machine learning
    The advantage of large optical telescopes from the ground for high-contrast direct imaging relies on achieving exquisite control of the incident optical wavefront. Since the exoplanet problem almost always has a bright star within a small field of view there are usually ample photons for measuring the atmospheric and telescopedistorted wavefront. A
