Convectively driven vortex flows in the Sun
J. A. Bonet, I. Marquez, J. Sanchez Almeida +2
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 they had remained el…
Magnetic field emergence in quiet Sun granules
D. Orozco Suarez, L. R. Bellot Rubio, J. C. del Toro Iniesta +1
We describe a new form of small-scale magnetic flux emergence in the quiet Sun. This process seems to take vertical magnetic fields from the solar interior to the photosphere, wher…
Temporal evolution of the Evershed flow in sunspots. II. Physical properties and nature of Evershed clouds
D. Cabrera Solana, L. R. Bellot Rubio, J. M. Borrero +1
Context: Evershed clouds (ECs) represent the most conspicuous variation of the Evershed flow in sunspot penumbrae. Aims: We determine the physical properties of ECs from high spati…
Temporal evolution of the Evershed flow in sunspots. I. Observational characterization of Evershed clouds
D. Cabrera Solana, L. R. Bellot Rubio, C. Beck +1
[Abridged] The magnetic and kinematic properties of the photospheric Evershed flow are relatively well known, but we are still far from a complete understanding of its nature. The…
Quiet Sun magnetic fields from space-borne observations: simulating Hinode's case
D. Orozco Suarez, L. R. Bellot Rubio, J. C. del Toro Iniesta
We examine whether or not it is possible to derive the field strength distribution of quiet Sun internetwork regions from very high spatial resolution polarimetric observations in…
