We use joint observations obtained with the Hinode space observatory and the Interferometric Bidimensional Spectrometer (IBIS) installed at the DST of the NSO/SP to investigate the morphology and dynamics of (a) non-magnetic and (b)…
Different relationships between the H$\alpha$ and Ca II chromospheric emissions have been reported in solar-type stars. In particular, the time-series of emissions in these two lines are clearly anti-correlated for a few percent of the…
Equivalent widths and line widths of Ca II infrared triplet emission lines were measured in high-resolution optical spectra of 39 young stellar objects.We found that the equivalent widths of the emission lines decrease with stellar…
We have observed selected Fraunhofer lines, both integrated over the Full Disk and for a small circular region near the center of the solar disk, on 1,215 days for the past 30 years. Full Disk results: Ca II K 393 nm nicely tracks the 11…
Sunspots host a large variety of oscillatory phenomena, whose properties depend on the nature of the wave modes and the magnetic and thermodynamic structure of the spot. Umbral chromospheric oscillations exhibit significant differences…
The O I 1355{\AA} spectral line is one of the only optically thin lines that are both routinely observed and thought to be formed in the chromosphere. We present analysis of a variety of observations of this line with the Interface Region…
Vector magnetic fields of an active region filament in the photosphere and upper chromosphere are obtained from spectro-polarimetric observations recorded with the Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter (TIP II) at the German Vacuum Tower Telescope…
A sunspot penumbra is observationally examined to reveal properties of small-scale flow structures and how they are related to the filamentary magnetic structures and the Evershed flow. We also study how the photospheric dynamics is related…
\ion{Ca}{2} H emission is a well-known indicator of magnetic activity in the Sun and other stars. It is also viewed as an important signature of chromospheric heating. However, the \ion{Ca}{2} H line has not been used as a diagnostic of…
We use synchronous movies from the Dutch Open Telescope sampling the G band, Ca II and Halpha with five-wavelength profile sampling to study the response of the chromosphere to acoustic events in the underlying photosphere. We first compare…
We investigate the statistics of the intensity distributions as function of the wavelength for Ca II H and the CA II IR line at 854.2 nm to estimate the energy content. We derived the intensity variations at different heights of the solar…
We used spectropolarimetric observations of a sunspot in active region NOAA 11809 in the Ca ii line at 854.2 nm taken with the SpectroPolarimeter for Optical and Infrared Regions (SPINOR) at the Dunn Solar Telescope to infer thermodynamic…
Chromospheric observations taken at high cadence and high spatial resolution show a range of spicule like features, including Type I, Type II (as well as RBEs and RREs) and those which seem to appear within a few seconds, which if…
In this study we explore the diagnostic potential of the chromospheric Ca II line at 8542A for studying the magnetic and dynamic properties of solar filaments. We have acquired high spatial resolution spectropolarimetric observations in the…
IRIS performs solar observations over a large range of atmospheric heights, including the chromosphere where the majority of flare energy is dissipated. The strong Mg II h&k spectral lines are capable of providing excellent atmospheric…
Active regions often host large-scale gas flows in the chromosphere presumably directed along curved magnetic field lines. Spectropolarimetric observations of these flows are critical to understanding the nature and evolution of their…
High-resolution observations of the solar photosphere have recently revealed the presence of elongated filamentary bright structures inside sunspot umbrae. These features, which have been called umbral filaments (UFs), differ in morphology,…
We observe simultaneously the Ca II K, Ca II 8542 and H-beta emissions in solar prominences at high spatial and spectral resolution. We confirm a branching in the emission relations of Ca II and H-beta. This is related to non-thermal line…
The Ca II infrared triplet is one of the few magnetically sensitive chromospheric lines available for ground-based observations. We present spectropolarimetric observations of the 8498 A and 8542 A lines in a quiet Sun region near a…
Spectropolarimetric observations of a sunspot were carried out with the Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter at Observatorio del Teide, Tenerife, Spain. Maps of the physical parameters were obtained from an inversion of the Stokes profiles…
