Using radiative magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of the magnetised solar photosphere and detailed spectro-polarimetric diagnostics with the FeI $6301.5mathrm{AA}$ and $6302.5mathrm{AA}$ photospheric lines in the local thermodynamic equilibrium approximation, we model active solar granulation as if it was observed at the solar limb. We analyse general properties of the radiation across the solar limb, such as the continuum and the line core limb darkening and the granulation contrast. We demonstrate the presence of profiles with both emission and absorption features at the simulated solar limb, and pure emission profiles above the limb. These profiles are associated with the regions of strong linear polarisation of the emergent radiation, indicating the influence of the intergranular magnetic fields on the line formation. We analyse physical origins of the emission wings in the Stokes profiles at the limb, and demonstrate that these features are produced by localised heating and torsional motions in the intergranular magnetic flux concentrations.

Magnetic fields in turbulent, convective high-$beta$ plasma naturally develop highly tangled and complex topologies---the solar photosphere being the paradigmatic example. These fields are mostly undetectable by standard diagnostic techniques with fi nite spatio-temporal resolution due to cancellations of Zeeman polarization signals. Observations of resonance scattering polarization have been considered to overcome these problems. But up to now, observations of scattering polarization lack the necessary combination of high sensitivity and high spatial resolution in order to directly infer the turbulent magnetic structure at the resolution limit of solar telescopes. Here, we report the detection of clear spatial structuring of scattering polarization in a magnetically quiet solar region at disk center in the Sr~{sc i} 4607~AA~spectral line on granular scales, confirming theoretical expectations. We find that the linear polarization presents a strong spatial correlation with the local quadrupole of the radiation field. The result indicates that polarization survives the dynamic and turbulent magnetic environment of the middle photosphere and is thereby usable for spatially resolved Hanle observations. This is an important step toward the long-sought goal of directly observing turbulent solar magnetic fields at the resolution limit and investigating their spatial structure.
Chromospheric umbral oscillations produce periodic brightenings in the core of some spectral lines, known as umbral flashes. They are also accompanied by fluctuations in velocity, temperature, and, according to several recent works, magnetic field. I n this study, we aim to ascertain the accuracy of the magnetic field determined from
Using numerical simulations of the magnetised solar photosphere carried out with the radiative magneto-hydrodynamic code, MURaM, and detailed spectro-polarimetric diagnostics of the simulated photospheric 6302A FeI line, spectro-polarimetric signatur es of Alfven waves in magnetised intergranular lanes of the simulated solar photosphere were analysed at different positions at the solar disk. The torsional Alfven waves in the intergranular lanes are horizontal plasma motions, which do not have a thermal perturbation counterpart. We find signatures of Alfven waves as small-scale line profile Doppler shifts and Stokes-V area asymmetry enhancements in the simulated off-disk centre observations. These photospheric features disappear when the simulated observations are degraded with a telescope PSF similar to the one of Hinode. We analyse the possibilities for direct observations and confirmation of Alfven wave presence in the solar photosphere.
