Determining the magnetic field related to solar spicules is vital for developing adequate models of these plasma jets, which are thought to play a key role in...
On the Magnetic Nature of Quiet-Sun Chromospheric Grains
Ca II K grains, i.e., intermittent, short-lived (about 1 minute), periodic (2-4 minutes), pointlike chromospheric brightenings, are considered to be the...
On the Magnetism and Dynamics of Prominence Legs Hosting Tornadoes
Solar tornadoes are dark vertical filamentary structures observed in the extreme ultraviolet associated with prominence legs and filament barbs. Their true...
Proper motions in a sunspot group with a δ-configuration and close to the solar disk center have been studied by employing local correlation tracking techniques...
On the nature of kink MHD waves in magnetic flux tubes
Context: Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves are often reported in the solar atmosphere and usually classified as slow, fast, or Alfvén. The possibility that these...
On the origin of magnetic driven winds and the structure of the galactic dynamo in isolated galaxies
We investigate the build-up of the galactic dynamo and subsequently the origin of a magnetic driven outflow. We use a set-up of an isolated disc galaxy with a...
On the origin of reverse polarity patches found by Hinode in sunspot penumbrae
Context: The topology of penumbral magnetic fields is poorly known. The satellite Hinode has recently revealed penumbral structures of a magnetic polarity that...
On the period ratio P1/2P2 in the oscillations of coronal loops
Aims.With strong evidence of fast and slow magnetoacoustic modes arising in the solar atmosphere there is scope for improved determinations of coronal...
On the Probable Existence of an Abrupt Magnetization in the Upper Chromosphere of the Quiet Sun
We report on a detailed radiative transfer modeling of the observed scattering polarization in the Hα line, which allows us to infer quantitative information on...
