This talk will give an overview of our understanding of the Sun in the 1960's, the major discoveries since then, and the main questions that need to be answered...
The Magnetic Sensitivity of the (250-278 nm) Fe II Polarization Spectrum
This paper presents a theoretical investigation of the polarization and magnetic sensitivity of the near-ultraviolet (near-UV) solar spectral lines of Fe II...
The Polarization of the Solar Ba II D<SUB>1</SUB> Line with Partial Frequency Redistribution and Its Magnetic Sensitivity
We investigate the main physical mechanisms that shape the intensity and polarization of the Ba II D 1 line at 4934 Å via radiative transfer numerical...
The Potential of the Wavelength-integrated Scattering Polarization of the Hydrogen Lyα Line for Probing the Solar Chromosphere
The intensity and the linear scattering polarization profiles of the hydrogen Lyα line encode valuable information on the thermodynamic and magnetic structure...
The role of activity complexes in the distribution of solar magnetic fields.
Using published data on the large-scale distribution of solar activity, the authors conclude that the longlived coronal holes are formed and maintained by the...
The stochastic, intermittent nature of quiet Sun magnetism
The quiet Sun (the 99%, or more, of the solar surface not covered by sunspots or active regions) is receiving increased attention in recent years; its role on...
TIC: A Stokes Inversion Code for Scattering Polarization with Partial Frequency Redistribution and Arbitrary Magnetic Fields
We present the Tenerife Inversion Code (TIC), which has been developed to infer the magnetic and plasma properties of the solar chromosphere and transition...
Tomography of a Solar Plage with the Tenerife Inversion Code
We apply the Tenerife Inversion Code (TIC) to the plage spectropolarimetric observations obtained by the Chromospheric LAyer SpectroPolarimeter (CLASP2). These...
Turbulence and Particle Acceleration in Solar Flares
A solar flare involves the conversion of magnetic energy stored in the coronal magnetic field into the kinetic energy of thermal and non-thermal particles, mass...
