Quiet Sun magnetic fields: an observational view

L Bellot Rubio, D Orozco Suárez - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2019 - Springer
The quiet Sun is the region of the solar surface outside of sunspots, pores, and plages. In
continuum intensity it appears dominated by granular convection. However, in polarized …

focus lying on the corona. The solar magnetic field couples the solar interior with the visible …

Nature of the energy source powering solar coronal loops driven by nanoflares

LP Chitta, H Peter, SK Solanki - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018 - aanda.org
Context. Magnetic energy is required to heat the corona, the outer atmosphere of the Sun, to
millions of degrees. Aims. We study the nature of the magnetic energy source that is …

The solar internetwork. I. Contribution to the network magnetic flux

M Gošić, LRB Rubio, DO Suárez… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org

total quiet Sun flux. However, its origin and maintenance are not well known. Here we …

The role of partial ionization effects in the chromosphere

J Martínez-Sykora, B De Pontieu… - … of the Royal …, 2015 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The energy for the coronal heating must be provided from the convection zone. However,
the amount and the method by which this energy is transferred into the corona depend on …

Estimation of the magnetic flux emergence rate in the quiet Sun from Sunrise data

HN Smitha, LS Anusha, SK Solanki… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Small-scale internetwork (IN) features are thought to be the major source of fresh magnetic
flux in the quiet Sun. During its first science flight in 2009, the balloon-borne observatory …

Chromospheric heating due to cancellation of quiet Sun internetwork fields

M Gošić, J de la Cruz Rodríguez… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The heating of the solar chromosphere remains one of the most important questions in solar
physics. Our current understanding is that small-scale internetwork (IN) magnetic fields play …

Solar magnetic tracking. IV. The death of magnetic features

DA Lamb, TA Howard, CE DeForest… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
The removal of magnetic flux from the quiet-Sun photosphere is important for maintaining
the statistical steady state of the magnetic field there, for determining the magnetic flux …

Diffusion of solar magnetic elements up to supergranular spatial and temporal scales

F Giannattasio, D Del Moro, F Berrilli… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
The study of spatial and temporal scales on which small magnetic structures (magnetic
elements) are organized in the quiet Sun may be approached by determining how they are …

Dispersal of G-band bright points at different longitudinal magnetic field strengths
