Descripción
We report a study of the quiet sun's magnetic field based on
high-resolution infrared spectropolarimetric observations (TIP/VTT). We
find that in almost 50% of the pixels Stokes V and in 15% the Stokes Q
and/or U profiles have a signal above 10-3. The statistical
properties of the mainly intranetwork field sampled by these
observations are presented, showing that most of the observed fields are
weak (the field strength distribution peaks at 350 G and has a FWHM of
300 G) with very few kG features. The magnetized regions occupy a very
small fill fractions (about 2%). The field changes properties on
granular spatial scales and the size of the patches formed by similar
profiles is close to 1". Most of the parameters of the observed
polarization profiles show correlations with granulation parameters.
