Cosmogenic radionuclides reveal an extreme solar particle storm near a solar minimum 9125 years BP
Cosmogenic radionuclides from ice cores and tree rings indicate that an extreme solar proton event has hit Earth about 9200 years ago. Contrary to expectations, the event occurred during a quiet phase of the Sun within the 11 year solar cycle.

Asymmetries of the Stokes V profiles observed by HINODE SOT/SP in the quiet Sun
We present the first classification of SOT/SP circular polarization measurements with the aim of highlighting exhaustively the whole variety of Stokes V shapes emerging from the quiet Sun.

Ubiquitous High Speed Transition Region and Coronal Upflows in the Quiet Sun
We study the line profiles of a range of transition region (TR) emission lines observed in typical quiet Sun regions. In magnetic network regions, the Si IV 1402\AA{}, C IV 1548\AA{}, N V 1238\AA{}, O VI 1031\AA{}, and Ne VIII 770\AA{} spectral lines ...

Ion-atom radiative processes in the solar atmosphere: quiet Sun and sunspots
In the previous works the significance of the symmetric and non-symmetric ion-atom absorption processes in far UV and EUV regions within a model of the quiet Sun atmosphere, has been studied.

Scales of the magnetic fields in the quiet Sun [PDF]
Context: The presence of a turbulent magnetic field in the quiet Sun has been unveiled observationally using different techniques. The magnetic field is quasi-isotropic and has field strengths weaker than 100G. It is pervasive and may host a local dynamo.

On the Sr I 4607 A Hanle depolarization signals in the quiet Sun
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 energy.

Probing Lorentz Invariance Violation with Absorption of Astrophysical γ-Rays by Solar Photons
We compute in detail the absorption optical depth for astrophysical γ -ray photons interacting with solar photons to produce electron–positron pairs. This effect is greatest for γ -ray sources at small angular distances from the Sun, reaching optical ...

Fully resolved quiet-Sun magnetic flux tube observed with the Sunrise IMaX instrument
Until today, the small size of magnetic elements in quiet Sun areas has required the application of indirect methods, such as the line-ratio technique or multi-component inversions, to infer their physical properties.
