• The Sun’s Supergranulation (2010, methodology): “Zeeman spectropolarimetry estimates of the average field strength based on Hinode observations (Lites et al. 2008) are 11G for longitudinal fields and 60G for transverse fields (horizontal fields at disc centre), but wide excursions from these average values are detected and the observed signatures…”
• The magnetic field in the solar atmosphere (2014, background): “vertical one. This means that a predominantly horizontal field cannot exist at the base of a force-free environment, and if the horizontal flux is on average about a factor of five higher (as claimed by Lites et al., 2008) the quiet-Sun photosphere is even farther away from a force-free state than phot”
