This thesis is based on observations performed at the Vacuum Tower Telescope (Tenerife). We have used an infrared spectropolarimeter (TIP) and a Fabry-Perot spectrometer (G-FPI) from years 2004 to 2006. We have applied several imaging…
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…
A dominant constituent in the dynamic chromosphere are spicules. Spicules at the limb appear as relatively small and dynamic jets that are observed to everywhere stick out. Many papers emphasize the important role spicules might play in the…
Solar limb and disc spicule quasi- periodic motions have been reported for a long time, strongly suggesting that they are oscillating. In order to clear up the origin and possibly explain some solar limb and disc spicule quasi-periodic…
We present observations of a solar quiet region obtained using Hinode Solar Optical telescope (SOT) in Ca II H line with broadband filter taken on November 2006. We study offlimb and on disk spicules to find a counterpart of limb spicule on…
We made high-resolution spectroscopic observations of limb-spicules in H-alpha using the Vertical Spectrograph of Domeless Solar Telescope at Hida Observatory. While more than half of the observed spicules have Gaussian line-profiles, some…
Broad-band images in the Ca II H line, from the BFI instrument on the Hinode spacecraft, show emission from spicules emerging from and visible right down to the observed limb. Surprisingly, little absorption of spicule light is seen along…
Consecutive height series of Ha spectra in solar limb spicules taken on the 53 cm coronagraph of Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory at the heights of 3800-8700 km above the photosphere have been analyzed. The aim is to observe oscillatory…
Numerical simulations of the solar chromosphere have progressed towards reproducing spicules, which are transient features observed at the solar limb using spectral lines such as H$\alpha$, Ca II H&K, or Mg II h&k. Two types of spicules,…
In the present work, we investigate the formation of Stokes profiles and spectro-polarimetric diagnostics in an active region plage near the limb. We use 3-D radiation-MHD simulations with unipolar fields of an average strength of 400 G,…
We present unprecedented high resolution H-alpha observations, obtained with the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope, that, for the first time, spatially and temporally resolve dynamic fibrils in active regions on the Sun. These jet-like features…
Solar spicules are chromospheric fibrils that appear everywhere on the Sun, yet their origin is not understood. Using high resolution observations of spicules obtained with the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope, we aim to understand how spicules…
We report observations of solar spicules at millimeter wavelengths (mm-$\lambda$) using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). These are supplemented by observations in optical (O), ultraviolet (UV) and extreme ultraviolet…
Understanding the dynamic solar chromosphere is fundamental in solar physics. Spicules are an important feature of the chromosphere, connecting the photosphere to the corona, potentially mediating the transfer of energy and mass. The aim of…
To study motions and oscillations in the solar chromosphere and at the transition region (TR) level we analyze some extreme Doppler shifts observed off-limb with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS). Raster scans and slit-jaw…
Off-the-limb observations with high spatial and spectral resolution will help us understand the physical properties of spicules in the solar chromosphere Spectropolarimetric observations of spicules in the \ion{He}{i} 10830 \AA\ multiplet…
We consider a first important parameter of spicules as observed above the solar visible limb: their apparent diameter as a function of the height above the limb which determines their aspect ratio and leads to the discussion of their…
Using high cadence observations from the Hydrogen-alpha Rapid Dynamics camera imaging system on the Dunn Solar Telescope, we present an investigation of the statistical properties of transverse oscillations in spicules captured above the…
We have analyzed IRIS spectral and slit-jaw observations of a quiet region near the South Pole. In this article we present an overview of the observations, the corrections, and the absolute calibration of the intensity. We focus on the…
Spicules are intermittently rising above the surface of the Sun eruptions; EUV jets are now also reported in immediately above layers. The variation of spicule orientation with respect to the solar latitude, presumably reflecting the…
