Descripción
Aims:We study the structure of the magnetic field vector in the
internetwork and search for the presence of small-scale loops. Methods: We invert 1.56 μm spectropolarimetric observations of
internetwork regions at disc centre by applying the SIR code. This
allows us to recover the atmospheric parameters that play a role in the
formation of these spectral lines. We are mainly interested in the
structure of the magnetic field vector. Results: We find that
many opposite polarity elements of the internetwork are connected by
short (2-6´´), low-lying (photospheric) loops. These loops
connect at least the 10-20% of the internetwork flux visible in our
data. Also we have some evidence that points towards a dynamic scenario
that can be produced by the emergence of internetwork magnetic flux.
