En la madrugada del pasado 10 de mayo un maravilloso espectáculo de auroras boreales pudo verse desde algunos puntos del Norte de Europa, la Península Ibérica y...
Circular polarization of the CA II H and K lines in solar quiet and active regions
A representative set of profiles is presented for the Ca II H resonace line in Stokes V and I, for the quiet sun, plages, sunspot umbrae, and a flare, as well...
Continuum intensity and magnetic flux of solar fluxtubes
The continuum contrast between flux tubes and their quiet background, and the magnetic flux carried by these magnetic elements, have been determined at...
The global behavior and fine structure of the distribution of sunspot decay rates from activity cycle 13 to 20 are presented. It is shown that the distribution...
Detailed processes accompanying the decay of an active region
The decay of a small solar active region is studied with high-resolution magnetograms. The reduction process made it possible to match intensity and magnetic...
Dynamos, the drivers of solar and stellar activity
Following Cowling's anti-dynamo theorem of 1933, there was a long period during which the very existence of dynamos was unclear. Even with the emergence of...
El IAC presenta un vídeo divulgativo del proyecto “Radiación Polarizada para Explorar el Magnetismo de la Atmósfera Solar” (POLMAG). En este vídeo, varios...
Exploring the Magnetic and Thermal Evolution of a Coronal Jet
Coronal jets are the captivating eruptions that are often found in the solar atmosphere and primarily formed due to magnetic reconnection. Despite their short...
