| Abstract: | The magnetic field of the Sun has been studied in greatest detail in the photosphere, where the Zeeman effect and more recently the Hanle effect have allowed magnetic fields to be detected all over the solar disk, from sunspots to the internetwork regions of the quiet Sun. In this talk I will review some of the main results obtained on solar photospheric fields by observing polarized light and will attempt to unravel what they imply for the nature of the magnetic field in the photosphere. Due to the vastness of the topic, I will concentrate on exemplary cases instead of giving a full overview. |
