Magnetic Field Configurations

Magnetic flux at the surface of the Sun is predominantly concentrated in discrete areas with kilogauss field strengths. Except for sunspots, these areas are too small to have been resolved by conventional observations. These magnetic flux tubes are …

The dependence of the properties of solar magnetic elements on the magnetic filling factor is studied using Stokes V spectra of three lines observed near the center of the solar disk. The inversion technique developed by Keller et al. (1990) is …
