Measurements of Photospheric and Chromospheric Magnetic Fields

Andreas Lagg, Bruce Lites, Jack Harvey +2

The Sun is replete with magnetic fields, with sunspots, pores and plage regions being their most prominent representatives on the solar surface. But even far away from these active…

Comparison of inversion codes for polarized line formation in MHD simulations. I. Milne-Eddington codes

J. M. Borrero, B. W. Lites, A. Lagg +2

Milne-Eddington (M-E) inversion codes for the radiative transfer equation are the most widely used tools to infer the magnetic field from observations of the polarization signals i…

Unresolved Mixed Polarity Magnetic Fields at Flux Cancellation Site in Solar Photosphere at 0".3 Spatial Resolution

Masahito Kubo, Boon Chye Low, Bruce W. Lites

This is a follow-up investigation of a magnetic-flux cancellation event at a polarity inversion line (PIL) on the Sun observed with the spectropolarimeter on board Hinode. Anomalou…

High speed photospheric material flow observed at the polarity inversion line of a delta-type sunspot producing an X5.4 flare on 7 March 2012

Toshifumi Shimizu, Bruce W. Lites, Yumi Bamba

Solar flares abruptly release the free energy stored as a non-potential magnetic field in the corona and may be accompanied by eruptions of the coronal plasma. Formation of a non-p…

Observations of solar scattering polarization at high spatial resolution

F. Snik, A. G. de Wijn, K. Ichimoto +3

The weak, turbulent magnetic fields that supposedly permeate most of the solar photosphere are difficult to observe, because the Zeeman effect is virtually blind to them. The Hanle…
