In this paper we address the problem of the non-LTE (NLTE) inversion of line profiles by means of a nonlinear least-squares minimization procedure combined with...
Non-LTE Inversion of Stokes Profiles Induced by the Zeeman Effect
This paper presents a new diagnostic tool for the inference of the thermal, dynamic, and magnetic properties of the solar chromosphere. It consists of a non-LTE...
Non-LTE Inversions of the Mg II h & k and UV Triplet Lines
The Mg ii h & k lines are powerful diagnostics for studying the solar chromosphere. They have become particularly popular with the launch of the Interface...
Non-LTE Model Atmospheres for Late-Type Stars. I. A Collection of Data for Light Neutral and Singly Ionized Atoms
With the goal of producing a reliable set of model atoms and singly ionized ions for use in building NLTE model atmospheres, we have combined measured energy...
Non-LTE Model Atmospheres for Late-Type Stars. II. Restricted Non-LTE Calculations for a Solar-like Atmosphere
We test our knowledge of the atomic opacity in the solar UV spectrum. Using the atomic data compiled in the first paper in this series from modern, publicly...
Nonequilibrium CO Chemistry in the Solar Atmosphere
Investigating the reliability of the assumption of instantaneous chemical equilibrium (ICE) for calculating the CO number density in the solar atmosphere is of...
Novel framework for the three-dimensional NLTE inverse problem
The inversion of spectropolarimetric observations of the solar upper atmosphere is one of the most challenging goals in solar physics. If we account for all...
Observation and Modeling of Anomalous CN Polarization Profiles Produced by the Molecular Paschen-Back Effect in Sunspots
We report novel spectropolarimetric observations of sunspots carried out with the Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter in a near-IR spectral region around 15410 Å...
Observation and Modeling of the Circular Polarization of the Cr I Magnetic-field-induced Transition at 533.03 nm
We study the circular polarization of the magnetic-field-induced transition (MIT) between the 3d 5( 6 S)4d 7 D 2 and 3d 5( 6 S)4p 7 P 4° states of Cr I at 533...
