We analyze two regions of the quiet Sun (35.6 x 35.6 Mm^2) observed at high spatial resolution (~100 km) in polarized light by the IMaX spectropolarimeter onboard the Sunrise balloon. We identify 497 small-scale (~400 km) magnetic loops,…

We study the structure and evolution of the magnetic field of the quiet Sun by investigating weak spectro-polarimetric signals. To this end, we observed a quiet region close to the disk center with the German VTT in Tenerife, July 07, 2006.…
The Hanle depolarization signals of Sr 4607 A have been used to estimate the unsigned magnetic flux and magnetic energy existing in the quiet Sun photosphere. However, the Sr 4607 A Hanle signals are not sensitive to the unsigned flux and…

Rapid magnetic upflows in the quiet-Sun photosphere were recently uncovered from both SUNRISE/IMaX and Hinode/SOT observations. Here, we study magnetic upflow events (MUEs) from high-quality, high- (spatial, temporal, and spectral)…
We studied the properties of internetwork magnetic fields in the solar photosphere taking advantage of full-disk Stokes $V/I$ maps of the \ion{Fe}{1} 1564.8 nm line, which were obtained during 2010--2019. In contrast to most of the previous…
We present the first interpretation of the Stokes profile asymmetries measured in the FeI 630 nm lines by SOT/SP, in both quiet Sun internetwork (IN) and network regions. The inversion is carried out under the hypothesis of MISMA, where the…
The Zeeman pattern of MnI lines is sensitive to hyperfine structure (HFS) and, they respond to hG magnetic field strengths differently from the lines used in solar magnetometry. This peculiarity has been employed to measure magnetic field…
The quiet Sun internetwork is permeated by weak and highly inclined magnetic fields whose physical properties, dynamics, and magnetic interactions are not fully understood. High spatial resolution magnetograms show them as discrete magnetic…

In the past, spectropolarimetric data from Hinode/SP has been employed to infer the distribution of the magnetic field vector in the quiet Sun. While some authors have found predominantly horizontal magnetic fields, others favor an…
