Quiet Sun magnetic fields observed by Hinode: Support for a local dynamo
Context. The Hinode mission has revealed copious amounts of horizontal flux covering the quiet Sun. Local dynamo action has been proposed to explain the presence of this flux. Aims. We sought to test whether the quiet Sun flux detected by Hinode is due to a local or the global dynamo by studying long-term variations in the polarisation signals detectable at the disc centre of the quiet Sun betw...
متن کاملTurbulent magnetic fields in the quiet Sun: implications of Hinode observations and small-scale dynamo simulations
Using turbulent MHD simulations (magnetic Reynolds numbers up to≈ 8000) and Hinode observations, we study effects of turbulence on measuring the solar magnetic field outside active regions. Firstly, from synthetic Stokes V profiles for the FeI lines at 6301 and 6302 Å, we show that a peaked probability distribution function (PDF) for observationally-derived field estimates is consistent with a ...
متن کاملEvidence for Quasi-isotropic Magnetic Fields from Hinode Quiet Sun Observations
Some recent investigations of spectropolarimetric observations of the Zeeman effect in the Fe i lines at 630 nm carried out with the Hinode solar space telescope have concluded that the strength of the magnetic field vector in the internetwork regions of the quiet Sun is in the hG regime and that its inclination is predominantly horizontal. We critically reconsider the analysis of such observat...
متن کاملQuiet 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 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...
