 Movies

 Scientific and technical talks

  • Matpol.mov: A boring talk full of maths for very practical issues: charaterization of physically meaningful Mueller matrices and of polarimeter efficiencies. Sorry for some not very good effects. The movie has been created from Power Point.
  • Sunrise.movA talk given in the IAA for summarizing the Sunrise/IMaX project slightly biased to the IAA participation. The majority of the material is borrowed from a Valentín Martínez Pillet's talk.
  • Visible_and_infrared_spectropolarimetry.movA talk given in Ascona (Switzerland) during the 5th Solar Polarization Workshop. Sorry for some not very good effects. The movie has been created from Power Point.
  • Visible_spectropolarimetry.movTwo versions of a talk. The shorter one (Japan) was given in Tokyo, during the 3rd Hinode science meeting. The longer was given in Palma de Mallorca, during the 2nd Spanish Solar and Heliospheric meeting.

 Outreach material

  • Magnetic SunOutreach video included within the project "Deconstructing light" from Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) (In Spanish).

 Inversion codes

Stokes inversion techniques represent the most sophisticated way to interpret spectropolarimetric observations.

For more information on inversion techniques, download this pdf presentation (2.3 Mb) or read the review papers by del Toro Iniesta & Ruiz Cobo (1996), Bellot Rubio (2006) or Ruiz Cobo (2007)

  • SIRSIR inversion code. A general-purpose code capable of dealing with gradients of the physical quantities with height. It admits one and two-component model atmospheresFor more information and questions, contact Dr Basilio Ruiz Cobo (brc@iac.es) or Dr Luis Bellot Rubio (ibellot@iaa.es).
  • MILOSMILOS inversion code. Written in IDL. Users, please read the README file. For more information and questions, contact Dr David Orozco Suárez (dorozco@iac.es).
  • HAZELHAZEL inversion code. 

 Mueller matrices

  • Muller Matrices.rarTwo versions, FORTRAN and IDL, of a single code for characterizing 4x4 matrices as physically meaningful Mueller matrices (see Landi Degl'Innocenti & Del Toro Iniesta, 1998, JOSA A, 15, 533).
