Comparing solar and stellar brightness variations is hampered by the difference in spectral passbands used in observations as well as by the possible difference in the inclination of their rotation axes from the line of sight. We calculate…
Sunspots are crucial for exploring how magnetic fields and plasma flows interact in the solar atmosphere, spanning from the stable photosphere to the shock-dominated chromosphere. To determine the thermal, magnetic, and kinematic properties…

The solar acoustic oscillations are likely stochastically excited by convective dynamics in the solar photosphere, though few direct observations of individual source events have been made and their detailed characteristics are still…
Observations of quiet Sun from the Solar Optical Telescope/Spectro-Polarimeter (SOT/SP) aboard the Hinode spacecraft would reveal the magnetic characters of the solar photosphere. By making use of the deep mode observations of three quiet…

Quiescent filaments appear as absorption features on the solar disk when observed in chromospheric lines and at continuum wavelengths in the millimeter (mm) range. Active region (AR) filaments are their small-scale, low-altitude analogues,…
An accurate measurement of magnetic field is very important for understanding the formation and evolution of solar magnetic fields. Currently there are two types of solar magnetic field measurement instruments: the filter-based…
When inverting solar spectra, image degradation effects that are present in the data are usually approximated or not considered. We develop a data reduction method that takes these issues into account and minimizes the resulting errors. By…
The Stokes profiles of Fe I lines in the photosphere of the Sun are calculated within the Unno-Beckers-Landi-Dagl`Innocenti theory. Estimates of the magnetic strengthening of the lines were obtained. The changes in the Stokes profiles…
CONTEXT: Spectral-line asymmetries and wavelength shifts are signatures of hydrodynamics in solar and stellar atmospheres. Theory may precisely predict idealized lines, but observed spectra are limited by blends, too few suitable lines,…
Observation of Interplanetary Scintillation (IPS) provides an important and effective way to study the solar wind and the space weather. A series of IPS observations were conducted by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio…
Chromospheric plages are distributed between mid-latitude and the Equator and never close to the Poles. Therefore, we suspect that the inclination angle of the solar rotation axis has an impact on the observable chromospheric emission. We…
