Magnetic bright points are small-scale magnetic elements ubiquitous across the solar disk, with the prevailing theory suggesting that they form due to the process of convective collapse. Employing a unique full Stokes spectropolarimetric…

Comparisons of solar magnetic-field measurements made in different spectral lines are very important, especially in those lines in which observations have a long history or(and) specific diagnostic significance. The spectral lines FeI 523.3…
