DKIST unveils MHD-predicted sub-50 km photospheric vortices
S. Vargas Dominguez, O. A. Calvo Rebellon, J. S. Castellanos Duran +4
Solar vortices are rotating plasma structures that play a key role in the transport of energy and magnetic helicity from the photosphere to the chromosphere and corona. While numer…
Wave excitation by a collapsing granule: insights from IFU observations and high-resolution RMHD simulations
J. Buttler, G. Vigeesh, I. Milić +5
Context. Granular collapse is an ubiquitous process of granular evolution on the solar surface, but it is hard to analyze in sufficient spatial, temporal, and spectral detail. Aims…

The investigation of plasma motions in the solar chromosphere is crucial for understanding the transport of mechanical energy from the interior of the Sun to the outer atmosphere a…
: A spectropolarimetric inversion code for the coupled inference of atomic line parameters
D. Vukadinović, H. N. Smitha, A. Korpi-Lagg +3
For many transitions, atomic data, such as the oscillator strength (log(gf)) and the central wavelength of the line, are poorly constrained or even unknown. We present and test a n…
The MODEST catalog of depth-dependent spatially coupled inversions of sunspots observed by Hinode/SOT-SP
J. S. Castellanos Durán, N. Milanovic, A. Korpi-Lagg +3
We present a catalog that we named MODEST containing depth-dependent information on the atmospheric conditions inside sunspot groups of all types. The catalog is currently composed…
Wavefront error of PHI/HRT on Solar Orbiter at various heliocentric distances
F. Kahil, A. Gandorfer, J. Hirzberger +31
We use wavefront sensing to characterise the image quality of the the High Resolution Telescope (HRT) of the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (SO/PHI) data products during the…
Ultra-high resolution observations of plasmoid-mediated magnetic reconnection in the deep solar atmosphere
L. Rouppe van der Voort, M. van Noort, J. de la Cruz Rodriguez
Magnetic reconnection in the deep solar atmosphere can give rise to enhanced emission in the Balmer hydrogen lines, a phenomenon referred to as Ellerman bombs. To effectively trace…
The non-LTE formation of the Fe I 6173 A line in the solar atmosphere
H. N. Smitha, M. van Noort, S. K. Solanki +1
The current analysis is dedicated to a detailed investigation of the non-Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (NLTE) effects influencing the formation of the Fe I 6173 A line, which is…
Correction of atmospheric stray-light in restored slit-spectra
Sudharshan Saranathan, Michiel van Noort, Sami K. Solanki
A long-standing issue in solar ground-based observations has been the contamination of data due to stray light, which is particularly relevant in inversions of spectropolarimetric…
Similarities of magnetoconvection in the umbra and in the penumbra of sunspots
B. Löptien, A. Lagg, M. van Noort +1
Context. It is unclear why there is a rather sharp boundary in sunspots between the umbra and the penumbra. Both regions exhibit magnetoconvection, manifesting in penumbral filamen…

The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) included the European Solar Telescope (EST) as an ESFRI Project in its 2016 Roadmap and confirmed this status in 202…
Magneto-static modelling from SUNRISE/IMaX: Application to an active region observed with SUNRISE II
T. Wiegelmann, T. Neukirch, D. H. Nickeler +13
Magneto-static models may overcome some of the issues facing force-free magnetic field extrapolations. So far they have seen limited use and have faced problems when applied to qui…
