Convective collapse, a theoretically predicted process that intensifies existing weak magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere, was first directly observed in a single event by Nagata et al. (2008, ApJ, 677, L145) using the high resolution Solar …
We have used the Zurich Imaging Stokes Polarimeter (ZIMPOL I) with the McMath-Pierce 1.5 m main telescope on Kitt Peak to obtain linear polarization measurements of the off-limb chromosphere with a sensitivity better than 1×10$^-5$. We found that the …
We have used pairs of temporally simultaneous CaII K-line spectroheliograms and magnetic area scans to search for spatial correlation between the CaII K$_2V$ bright points in the interior of the network and corresponding magnetic elements. We find …
