Description
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 profiles. They show
that the internetwork consists of very inclined, hG fields. As expected,
network areas exhibit a predominance of kG field concentrations. The
high spatial resolution of Hinode's spectropolarimetric measurements
brings to an agreement the results obtained from the analysis of visible
and near-infrared lines.
