Morphological properties of slender Ca II H fibrils observed by SUNRISE II

R. Gafeira, A. Lagg, Sami K Solanki +12

We use seeing-free high spatial resolution Ca II H data obtained by the SUNRISE observatory to determine properties of slender fibrils in the lower solar chromosphere. In this work…

Spectropolarimetric evidence for a siphon flow along an emerging magnetic flux tube

Iker S. Requerey, B. Ruiz Cobo, J. C. Del Toro Iniesta +12

We study the dynamics and topology of an emerging magnetic flux concentration using high spatial resolution spectropolarimetric data acquired with the Imaging Magnetograph eXperime…

A new MHD-assisted Stokes inversion technique

T. L. Riethmüller, S. K. Solanki, P. Barthol +10

We present a new method of Stokes inversion of spectropolarimetric data and evaluate it by taking the example of a SUNRISE/IMaX observation. An archive of synthetic Stokes profiles…

A Tale of Two Emergences: Sunrise II Observations of Emergence Sites in a Solar Active Region

Rebecca Centeno, Julian Blanco Rodriguez, Jose Carlos Del Toro Iniesta +11

In June 2013, the two scientific instruments onboard the second Sunrise mission witnessed, in detail, a small-scale magnetic flux emergence event as part of the birth of an active…

Kinematics of Magnetic Bright Features in the Solar Photosphere

Shahin Jafarzadeh, S. K. Solanki, R. H. Cameron +12

Convective flows are known as the prime means of transporting magnetic fields on the solar surface. Thus, small magnetic structures are good tracers of the turbulent flows. We stud…

Solar Coronal Loops Associated with Small-scale Mixed Polarity Surface Magnetic Fields

L. P. Chitta, H. Peter, S. K. Solanki +12

How and where are coronal loops rooted in the solar lower atmosphere? The details of the magnetic environment and its evolution at the footpoints of coronal loops are crucial to un…

Transverse Oscillations in Slender Ca II H Fibrils Observed with Sunrise/SuFI

Shahin Jafarzadeh, S. K. Solanki, R. Gafeira +11

We present observations of transverse oscillations in slender Ca II H fibrils (SCFs) in the lower solar chromosphere. We use a 1 hr long time series of high- (spatial and temporal-…

Slender Ca II H Fibrils Mapping Magnetic Fields in the Low Solar Chromosphere

Shahin Jafarzadeh, R. J. Rutten, S. K. Solanki +14

A dense forest of slender bright fibrils near a small solar active region is seen in high-quality narrowband Ca II H images from the SuFI instrument onboard the Sunrise balloon-bor…

Radiative diagnostics in the solar photosphere and chromosphere

Jaime de la Cruz Rodríguez, Michiel van Noort

Magnetic fields on the surface of the Sun and stars in general imprint or modify the polarization state of the electromagnetic radiation that is leaving from the star. The inferenc…

Moving Magnetic Features around a Pore

A. J. Kaithakkal, T. L. Riethmüller, S. K. Solanki +12

Spectropolarimetric observations from Sunrise II/IMaX obtained in June 2013 are used for a statistical analysis to determine the physical properties of moving magnetic features (MM…

Photospheric response to EB-like event

S. Danilovic, S. K. Solanki, P. Barthol +10

Ellerman Bombs are signatures of magnetic reconnection, which is an important physical process in the solar atmosphere. How and where they occur is a subject of debate. In this pap…

Observed and Simulated Power Spectra of Kinetic and Magnetic Energy retrieved with 2D inversions

S. Danilovic, M. Rempel, M. van Noort +1

We try to retrieve the power spectra with certainty to the highest spatial frequencies allowed by current instrumentation. For this, we use 2D inversion code that were able to reco…

Internetwork magnetic field as revealed by 2D inversions

S. Danilovic, M. van Noort, M. Rempel

Properties of magnetic field in the internetwork regions are still fairly unknown due to rather weak spectropolarimetric signals. We address the matter by using the 2D inversion co…
