Research group Solar Physics
The Sun is the nearest star to us, and compared to other stars, can be studied in great detail.
Group description
For the observations, extensive use is made of the Swedish Solar Telescope on La Palma. The studies focus on the structure of sunspots, small-scale magnetic fields, spectral line formation and the chromosphere.
