David Elmore,Bruce W. Lites,Steven Tomczyk,Andrew Skumanich,Richard B. Dunn,Jeffrey A. Schuenke,K. Streander,Terry W. Leach,C. W. Chambellan,Howard K. Hull,L. B. Lacey +10 more
TL;DR: A new Stokes polarimeter for high spatial resolution quantitative measurement of magnetic fields at multiple heights in the solar atmosphere has been constructed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the National Solar Observatory as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wavelet phase coherence analysis: Application to a quiet-sun magnetic element
D. Shaun Bloomfield,R. T. James McAteer,R. T. James McAteer,Bruce W. Lites,Bruce W. Lites,Philip G. Judge,Mihalis Mathioudakis,Francis P. Keenan +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a wavelet analysis was applied to a weak solar magnetic network region, and the temporal variation of phase difference between TRACE 1700 A and SOHO/SUMER C II 1037 A intensities was shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small-Scale Horizontal Magnetic Fields in the Solar Photosphere
Journal ArticleDOI
Transfer of line radiation in a magnetic field
TL;DR: In this paper, the transfer equations for spectral-line radiation in a medium which is permeated by a magnetic field were derived using a classical approach, and the solutions of these equations for the weak-field case, when the Zeeman splitting is a fraction of the Doppler width, were given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical Tomography of a Sunspot. II. Vector Magnetic Field and Temperature Stratification
C. Westendorp Plaza,J. C. del Toro Iniesta,B. Ruiz Cobo,V. Martínez Pillet,Bruce W. Lites,Andrew Skumanich +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Stokes Inversion based on Response Functions (SIR inversion) was applied to a low-noise, full Stokes profile two-dimensional map of the sunspot as observed with the Advanced Stokes Polarimeter.
