The magnetic field of solar prominences
F. Paletou
In his famous monographs, Einar Tandberg-Hanssen writes that "the single, physically most important parameter to study in prominences may be the magnetic field. Shapes, motions, an…
Toroidal versus poloidal magnetic fields in Sun-like stars: a rotation threshold
P. Petit, B. Dintrans, S. K. Solanki +8
From a set of stellar spectropolarimetric observations, we report the detection of surface magnetic fields in a sample of four solar-type stars, namely HD 73350, HD 76151, HD 14623…
Why are some A stars magnetic, while most are not?
G. A. Wade, J. Silvester, K. Bale +21
A small fraction of intermediate-mass main sequence (A and B type) stars have strong, organised magnetic fields. The large majority of such stars, however, show no evidence for mag…
The ground-based solar observations database BASS 2000
F. Paletou, M. Lafon, P. Maeght +3
BASS 2000 is the French solar database for ground-based instruments. We describe hereafter our organization, our tasks and the products we can deliver to the international communit…
Freeware solutions for spectropolarimetric data reduction
F. Paletou, R. Rezaei, L. Leger
Most of the solar physicists use very expensive software for data reduction and visualization. We present hereafter a reliable freeware solution based on the Python language. This…
2D radiative modelling of He I spectral lines formed in solar prominences
L. Leger, F. Paletou
We present preliminary results of 2D radiative modelling of He I lines in solar prominences, using a new numerical code developed by us (Leger, Chevallier and Paletou 2007). It tre…
