Magnetic elements have an intensity contrast that depends on the type of region they are located in (e.g. quiet Sun, or active region plage). Observed values also depend on the spatial resolution of the data. Here we investigate the…

Over the last decades, realistic 3D radiative-MHD simulations have become the dominant theoretical tool for understanding the complex interactions between the plasma and the magnetic field on the Sun. Most of such simulations are based on…
Although the magnetic fields in the quiet Sun account for the majority of the magnetic energy in the solar photosphere, inferring their exact spatial distribution, origin, and evolution poses an important challenge because the signals lie…
