Small-scale jet-like eruptions, such as picoflare jets and jetlets, are recognized as potential contributors to coronal heating and solar wind acceleration, yet...
On the probable existence of an abrupt magnetization in the upper chromosphere of the quiet Sun
We report on a detailed radiative transfer modeling of the observed scattering polarization in the H-alpha line, which allows us to infer quantitative...
Polarization Calibration of the Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha SpectroPolarimeter for a 0.1 % Polarization Sensitivity in the VUV Range. Part I: Pre-flight Calibration
The Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha SpectroPolarimeter (CLASP) is a sounding rocket experiment designed to measure for the first time the linear polarization of the...
Polarization Calibration of the Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha SpectroPolarimeter for a 0.1% Polarization Sensitivity in the VUV Range. Part II: In-Flight Calibration
The Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha SpectroPolarimeter is a sounding rocket instrument designed to measure for the first time the linear polarization of the hydrogen...
Probing Uncertainties in Diagnostics of a Synthetic Chromosphere
Effective spectroscopic diagnostics rely on the ability to convert a particular flux measurement into a physical interpretation. Knowledge of uncertainty is a...
Quiet Sun Center to Limb Variation of the Linear Polarization Observed by CLASP2 Across the Mg II h and k Lines
The CLASP2 (Chromospheric LAyer Spectro-Polarimeter 2) sounding rocket mission was launched on 2019 April 11. CLASP2 measured the four Stokes parameters of the...
Solar-terrestrial relations – combined remote sensing and in-situ data
The Sun is an active star that influences the Earth as well as the entire solar system. Most dynamic phenomena on the Sun are observed as coronal mass ejections...
Spectropolarimetry of the Solar Mg II h and k Lines
We report on spectropolarimetric observations across the Mg II h and k lines at 2800 Å made by the Ultraviolet Spectrometer and Polarimeter on board the Solar...
