Descripción
Most chemical abundance determinations ignore that the solar photosphere
is significantly magnetized by the ubiquitous presence of a small-scale
magnetic field. A recent investigation has suggested that there should
be a significant impact on the derived iron abundance, owing to the
magnetically induced changes on the photospheric temperature and density
structure (indirect effect). The three-dimensional (3D) photospheric
models used in that investigation have non-zero net magnetic flux values
and stem from magneto-convection simulations without small-scale dynamo
action. Here we address the same problem by instead using 3D models of
the quiet solar photosphere that result from a state-of-the-art
magneto-convection simulation with small-scale dynamo action, where the
net magnetic flux is zero. One of these 3D models has negligible
magnetization, while the other is characterized by a mean field strength
of 160 Gauss in the low photosphere. With such 3D models we carried out
spectral synthesis for a large set of Fe i lines to derive abundance
corrections, taking the above-mentioned indirect effect and the Zeeman
broadening of the intensity profiles (direct effect) into account. We
conclude that if the magnetism of the quiet solar photosphere is mainly
produced by a small-scale dynamo, then its impact on the determination
of the solar iron abundance is negligible.

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
