Stokes vectors and Minkowski spacetime: Structural parallels
Jan Stenflo
The Stokes formalism of polarization physics has astounding structural parallels with the formalism used for relativity theory in Minkowski spacetime. The structure and symmetry pr…
Spatial variations of the Sr i 4607 Å scattering polarization peak
M. Bianda, S. Berdyugina, D. Gisler +5
Context. The scattering polarization signal observed in the photospheric Sr i 4607 Å line is expected to vary at granular spatial scales. This variation can be due to changes in th…
Polarized scattering with Paschen-Back effect, hyperfine structure, and partial frequency redistribution in magnetized stellar atmospheres
K. Sowmya, K. N. Nagendra, J. O. Stenflo +1
-state interference significantly modifies the polarization produced by scattering processes in the solar atmosphere. Its signature in the emergent Stokes spectrum in the absenc…
History of Solar Magnetic Fields since George Ellery Hale
Jan Stenflo
As my own work on the Sun's magnetic field started exactly 50 years ago at Crimea in the USSR, I have been a participant in the field during nearly half the time span since Hale's…
FTS atlas of the Sun's spectrally resolved center-to-limb variation
Jan Stenflo
The Sun's spectrum varies with center-to-limb distance. This variation is governed by the underlying temperature-density structure of the solar atmosphere. To explore the spectrall…
Horizontal or vertical magnetic fields on the quiet Sun: Angular distributions and their height variations
Jan Stenflo
Different analyses of identical Hinode SOT/SP data of quiet-sun magnetic fields have in the past led to contradictory answers to the question of whether the angular distribution of…
