Quiet Sun Internetwork Magnetic Fields from the Inversion of Hinode Measurements
We analyze Fe I 630 nm observations of the quiet Sun at disk center taken with the spectropolarimeter of the Solar Optical Telescope aboard the Hinode satellite. A significant fraction of the scanned area, including granules, turns out to be covered by magnetic fields. We derive field strength and inclination probability density functions from a Milne-Eddington inversion of the observed Stokes ...
متن کاملProper integration time of polarization signals of internetwork regions using Sunrise/IMaX data
Distribution of magnetic fields in the quiet-Sun internetwork areas has been affected by weak polarization (in particular Stokes Q and U) signals. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the weak polarization signals, several approaches, including temporal integrations, have been proposed in the literature. In this study, we aim to investigate a proper temporal-integration time with which...
متن کاملThe Strength of Quiet Sun Magnetic Fields
We present new quantitative measurements of magnetic fields on the quiet Sun. The object was (a) to measure magnetic field strengths, and (b) to test the “kilogauss model,” which posits that the apparently weak fields are actually subtelescopic knots of kilogauss fields with small filling factors. We used a new arrangement we call the spectro-videomagnetograph (SPVMG), which applies the videoma...
متن کاملConvective intensification of magnetic fields in the quiet Sun
Kilogauss-strength magnetic fields are often observed in intergranular lanes at the photosphere in the quiet Sun. Such fields are stronger than the equipartition field Be, corresponding to a magnetic energy density that matches the kinetic energy density of photospheric convection, and comparable with the field Bp that exerts a magnetic pressure equal to the ambient gas pressure. We present an ...
متن کاملEvidence for Non-potential Magnetic Fields in the Quiet Sun
A comparison of BBSO H centerline ltergrams and videomagnetograms was made to investigate the existence of non-potential magnetic elds in the quiet Sun near magnetic network. We use the bril structure in the H images as a proxy for the horizontal chromospheric magnetic eld which we compare with the horizontal eld obtained by potential extrapolation of the observed, line-of-sight photospheric el...
