Descripción
With the advent of a new generation of solar telescopes and instrumentation, interpreting chromospheric observations (in particular, spectropolarimetry) requires new, suitable diagnostic tools. This paper describes a new code, NICOLE, that has been designed for Stokes non-LTE radiative transfer, for synthesis and inversion of spectral lines and Zeeman-induced polarization profiles, spanning a wide range of atmospheric heights from the photosphere to the chromosphere. The code features a number of unique features and capabilities and has been built from scratch with a powerful parallelization scheme that makes it suitable for application on massive datasets using large supercomputers. The source code is written entirely in Fortran 90/2003 and complies strictly with the ANSI standards to ensure maximum compatibility and portability. It is being publicly released, with the idea of facilitating future branching by other groups to augment its capabilities. The source code is currently hosted at the following repository: http://https://github.com/hsocasnavarro/NICOLE

Magnestismo Solar y Estelar

Los campos magnéticos son uno de los ingredientes fundamentales en la formación de estrellas y su evolución. En el nacimiento de una estrella, los campos magnéticos llegan a frenar su rotación durante el colapso de la nube molecular, y en el fin de la vida de una estrella, el magnetismo puede ser clave en la forma en la que se pierden las capas

Magnetismo, Polarización y Transferencia Radiativa en Astrofísica

Los campos magnéticos están presentes en todos los plasmas astrofísicos y controlan la mayor parte de la variabilidad que se observa en el Universo a escalas temporales intermedias. Se encuentran en estrellas, a lo largo de todo el diagrama de Hertzsprung-Russell, en galaxias, e incluso quizás en el medio intergaláctico. La polarización de la luz

    Stellar halo density with LAMOST K and M giants

    Aims: We derive the morphology of the stellar component in the outer halo volume, and search for possible overdensities due to substructures therein. Methods: We made use of some of the data releases of the spectroscopic survey LAMOST DR8-DR9 in tandem with distance determinations for two subsamples, that is, of K-giants and M-giants, respectively
