We have discovered small whirlpools in the Sun, with a size similar to the terrestrial hurricanes (<0.5 Mm). The theory of solar convection predicts them, but...
Effects of Spectral Resolution on Simple Magnetic Field Diagnostics of the Mg II H and K Lines
We study the effects of finite spectral resolution on the magnetic field values retrieved through the weak-field approximation (WFA) from the cores of the Mg II...
El IAC organiza la reunión científica de la misión espacial CLASP2.1
Del 18 al 20 de octubre, científicos y científicas de EEUU, Japón y Europa se reúnen en el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) para discutir los...
Emergence of Internetwork Magnetic Fields through the Solar Atmosphere
Internetwork (IN) magnetic fields are highly dynamic, short-lived magnetic structures that populate the interior of supergranular cells. Since they emerge all...
Evaluating the Reliability of a Simple Method to Map the Magnetic Field Azimuth in the Solar Chromosphere
The Zeeman effect is of limited utility for probing the magnetism of the quiet solar chromosphere. The Hanle effect in some spectral lines is sensitive to such...
Evaluation of a Magnetic Field Inversion Method Using Only Stokes I
We compare a method for inferring the photospheric vector magnetic field using only spectroscopy to a conventional method based on polarimetry. The magnetic...
Evidence for the Operation of the Hanle and Magneto-optical Effects in the Scattering Polarization Signals Observed by CLASP2 across the Mg II h and k Lines
Radiative transfer investigations of the solar Mg II h and k resonance lines around 280 nm have shown that, while their circular polarization (Stokes V) signals...
Exploring Magnetic Loops and Serpentine Fields in the Quiet Sun with the GRIS-IFU
Synthetic observations produced from radiative magnetohydrodynamic simulations have predicted that higher polarization fractions in the quiet solar photosphere...
Fast-to-Alfvén Mode Conversion and Ambipolar Heating in Structured Media. II. Numerical Simulation
This paper studies the effectiveness of production of Alfvén waves in the solar atmosphere through the processes of mode conversion, taking into account several...
