High-resolution observations and resultsThis included high-resolution and high-precision solar observations, methods and results, including adaptive optics, image processing, spectroscopy and polarimetry, as well as helioseismology. Theoretical models, simulations, and interpretationsThis included model calculations, inversion techniques, numerical simulations including line formation, diagnostics with the Zeeman and the Hanle effects, and MHD simulations.Read More
