TL;DR: In this paper, the fine scale structure of NCP in a sunspot is examined with special attention paid to spatial relations of the Evershed flow to confirm the validity of the present interpretation of the NCP of sunspots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of seeing-induced cross talk in tip-tilt-corrected solar polarimetry
TL;DR: In this first attempt to understand the major issues, the influence of residual image motion (tip-tilt) corrections of operational AO systems on the cross talk between Stokes parameters and present results for several polarization analysis schemes are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The solar neutral iron spectrum. II. Profile synthesis of representative Fe I Fraunhofer lines
TL;DR: In this article, the profiles of eighteen neutral iron lines of varying strengths were synthesized from disk center to the limb using source functions from detailed statistical equilibrium calculations, and the analysis of the strong Fe i lines between 3500 Å and 4500 Å which are formed at and below the region of the initial temperature rise in the chromosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hinode observations reveal boundary layers of magnetic elements in the solar photosphere
TL;DR: In this article, the structure of the magnetic elements in network-cell interiors was studied and the funnel-shaped boundary of magnetic elements that separates the flux concentration from the weak-field environment was observed.
