While the emergence and evolution of solar surface magnetic flux
reveals what goes on in the solar interior, the interplay of
convection and magnetic field in the photosphere regulates the
field dispersal and drives the instabilities which heat the outer
solar atmosphere. This book presents a synthesis between observers
and theorists, both with regard to the magnetic elements which make
up solar magnetic fields (ranging from tiny flux tubes to whole
active regions), and to the surface patterns in which these
elements display properties of the subsurface dynamo. A major
breakthrough comes from numerical simulations. Modelling of flux
concentration, flux tube dynamics, penumbral toplogy, umbral fine
structure, and so on, turns solar physics into an experimental
science. The reviews and research papers in this volume provide an
overview of the solar frontier of astrophysical
magnetohydrodynamics. The elements and patterns of solar surface
magnetism contain much information about the subsurface solar
dynamo, as well as on the magnetically-dominated energy budget and
structuring of the outer solar atmosphere. The volume treats
high-resolution solar polarimetry, the physics of solar magnetic
elements, and the information contained in their patterns of
emergence on the solar surface in depth, with a balance between
theoretical and observational studies.
