Identifying solar active regions (ARs), which consist of one or more pairs of magnetic patches with opposite polarities, is essential due to their significant role in dynamic solar atmospheric phenomena. In this study, we analyze ARs during…

Solar internal rotation at high latitudes is poorly constrained by acoustic-mode helioseismology. Global inertial modes observed on the Sun are highly sensitive to solar differential rotation and may provide new diagnostics of rotation in…
We will show that isotropic collisions of electrons and protons with neutral hydrogen can lead to creation of net orientation of the atomic levels in the presence of a magnetic field. Consequently, the emitted Stokes-V profile of the…
