Flux distribution of solar intranetwork magnetic fields

The Properties of Horizontal Magnetic Elements in Quiet Solar Intranetwork

Using the data observed by the Solar Optical Telescope/Spectro-Polarimeter aboard the Hinode satellite, the horizontal and vertical fields are derived from the wavelength-integrated measures of Zeeman-induced linear and circular polarizations. The quiet intranetwork regions are pervaded by horizontal magnetic elements. We categorize the horizontal intranetwork magnetic elements into two types: ...

Enhanced solar anti-neutrino flux in random magnetic fields

Abstract We discuss the impact of the recent KamLAND constraint on the solar anti-neutrino flux on the analysis of solar neutrino data in the presence of Majorana neutrino transition magnetic moments and solar magnetic fields. We consider different stationary solar magnetic field models, both regular and random, highlighting the strong enhancement in the anti-neutrino production rates that char...

The evolution of intranetwork magnetic elements

We have studied the evolution of Intranetwork (IN) magnetic elements, using a particularly good series of very deep magnetograms obtained at Big Bear Solar Observatory. The magnetograms span an interval 10 hours long and cover an area of 310×240 arcsec2. We are able to follow 528 intranetwork elements from birth to death. The analysis reveals the following results: (1). The appearance of IN ele...

Vector magnetic fields of emerging solar flux I. Properties at the site of emergence

Several small emerging bipolar regions have been observed with the Advanced Stokes Polarimeter (ASP), including extensive time series measurements of one small region. Both new and previously recognized properties of the actual site of first emergence, where the magnetic field is nearly horizontal to the surface, are revealed by these observations. They provide the most complete and accurate ob...
