Quiet Sun Magnetism from ViSP Data Multiline Inversions Around 630.1 nm

Abstract Quiet Sun magnetism plays an important role in the global energy balance of the solar atmosphere.

Abstract

Abstract Quiet Sun magnetism plays an important role in the global energy balance of the solar atmosphere. The study of the magnetism of the quiet Sun has been a major effort in the last decades, and, as a result, very important advances in our knowledge have been achieved. The recent commissioning of the Daniel K.

The combination of data acquired with the ViSP instrument on the DKIST telescope around 630.1 nm and multiline inversions enables the achievement of exceptionally high spatial resolution in the solar atmosphere, both at the surface and in depth.
