  2. Twist propagation in Hα surgesPatricia Jibben and Richard C. Canfield2004, ApJ, 610, 1129 - The relationship between surge spin and the stored twist in the magnetic field was examined. - Hα spectroheliograms (Mees CCD Imaging Spectrograph) spectral range : Hα±10Å 2”.3 pixel-1spatial and 0.37Åpixel -1spectral resolution vector magnetogram (Haleakala Stokes Polarimeter) Fe I : 6301.5 and 6302.5 magnetogram - Active region selection criteria - change of the active region area ⊿a/a>10% - δor βγδregion - relatively large area ( a > 500μh) - well sampled with MCCD and HSP - within ± 45°of central meridian →396 surges were selected

  3. Hαspectropheliograms and Doppler Shifts →68% correlation between surge handedness and the hemisphere of the Sun velocity map white : red shift black : blue shift Hαmap →handedness could be determined in 249

  4. HSP vector magnetograms and αmaps α>0 : right-handed left : vector magnetogram right : αmap negative : dashed positive : solid

  5. Of all the observed surges, only 26 surges could be determined both the handedness of the surge and the sign of α at its point of origin. - Most of the surges tend to occur near the edge of a sunspot and near a boundary separating opposite signs of α. - A correlation between the stored twist in the magnetic field at the point of origin and handedness of the surge spin at the 99% confidence level.

  6. Interpretation Magnetic reconnection of twisted magnetic flux with less twisted flux explains the correlation. - energy release will accompany reconnection, and brightenings are a common feature of the observed events. - if the reconnected field lines do not have the same twist per unit length, post-reconnection twist propagation will take place. left-handed right-handed

  7. Observation of the Molecular Zeeman Effect in the G BandA. Asensio Ramos et al., 2004, ApJ, 611, L61 Photospheric bright points observed in G band are seen with very high contrast.  →  Theoretical investigation (Uietenbroek et al. 2004) → This paper shows - first observational study ( 4304Å + 4312Å ) NOAA0477 on 2003 Aug. 30 with ZIMPOL (Zurich Imaging Polarimeter) piezoelastic modulator + linear polarizer - radiative transfer calculations

  8. Theoretical prediction of the G-band polarization in Sunspot calculation including both the atomic and CH lines calculation including only the CH lines calculation without including any stray-light contamination In one wavelength location near 4303Å, the overlap of several magnetically sensitive and nonsensitive CH lines was predicted to produce a single-lobed Stokes V profile.

  9. calculations observed V/I positive polarity observed V/I negative polarity

  10. calculations observed V/I observed Q/I in penumbrae non negligible linear polarization

  11. conclusion - The observed polarization profiles confirm the previous theoretical prediction of the Zeeman effect in the G band. - Non-negligible Linear polarization was detected in both umbrae and penumbrae. -preliminary comparison V/I amplitude is smaller than the theoretical prediction (2000G)   → an indication of the presence of horizontal inhomogeneities in th photospheric regions of sunspot umbrae coexisting within the spatiotemporal resolution element of the observation.   → these inhomogeneities might be associated with the multitude of umbral dots. →linear polarization signal observed in sunspot umbrae could be an indication that the umbral dot component has inclined magnetic fields. - The theoretical interpretation of observations of the Zeeman effect in the G band offers a new diagnostic window for exploring the thermal and magnetic structuring of the solar photosphere.
