Temporal evolution of the Evershed flow in sunspots. I. Observational characterization of Evershed clouds
Context: The magnetic and kinematic properties of the photospheric Evershed flow are relatively well known, but not completely understood. The evolution of the...
The 1.5 m telescope GREGOR opens a new window to the understanding of solar small-scale magnetism. The first light instrumentation includes the Gregor Fabry...
The 3D structure of the penumbra at high resolution from the bottom of the photosphere to the middle chromosphere
Sunspots are the most prominent feature of the solar magnetism in the photosphere. Although they have been widely investigated in the past, their structure...
The Ambipolar Filamentation in the Warm Ionized Medium
We present the 2-D, two fluid (ions + neutrals) numerical simulations that we are carrying out in order to study the ambipolar filamentation process, in which a...
The B fields in OB stars (BOB) survey is an ESO large programme collecting spectropolarimetric observations for a large number of early-type stars in order to...
The Calibration of the Advanced Stokes Polarimeter
We describe and apply the methods that have been developed to calibrate the Advanced Stokes Polarimeter and to compensate for the polarization effects...
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...
The chromospheric component of coronal bright points. Coronal and chromospheric responses to magnetic-flux emergence
Context. We investigate the chromospheric counterpart of small-scale coronal loops constituting a coronal bright point (CBP) and its response to a photospheric...
