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…
This is a follow-up investigation of a magnetic-flux cancellation event at a polarity inversion line (PIL) on the Sun observed with the spectropolarimeter on board Hinode. Anomalous circular polarization (Stokes V) profiles are observed in…
We investigate a region of the quiet solar photosphere exhibiting three-lobed Stokes V profiles in the Fe I spectral line at 15648 Angstroem. The data were acquired with the GRIS spectropolarimeter attached to the GREGOR telescope. We aim…

Solar inter-network magnetic field is the weakest component of solar magnetism, but contributes most of the solar surface magnetic flux. The study on its origin has been constrained by the inadequate tempo-spatial resolution and sensitivity…

We describe a new form of small-scale magnetic flux emergence in the quiet Sun. This process seems to take vertical magnetic fields from the solar interior to the photosphere, where they appear above granular convection cells. High-cadence…
