The heating of the solar chromosphere remains one of the most important questions in solar physics. Our current understanding is that small-scale internetwork (IN) magnetic fields play an important role as a heating agent. Indeed,…

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…
