Inversion of the radiative transfer equation for polarized light

Ruiz Cobo, Basilio; del Toro Iniesta, Jose Carlos

Since the early 1970s, inversion techniques have become the most useful tool for inferring the magnetic, dynamic, and thermodynamic properties of the solar atmosphere. Inversions have been proposed in the literature with a sequential increase in model complexity: astrophysical inferences depend not only on measurements but also on the physics assu…
