Irradiance Effects of Small-Scale Magnetic Fields on the Sun
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Small-scale magnetic fields affect the solar luminosity mainly on long time scales. To understand their contribution to solar luminosity variations we must know and understand the contribution of a typical small-scale magnetic feature. In this review I briefly outline our theoretical understanding of the processes leading to the enhancement (or reduction) of the brightness of flux tubes. I also present a brief overview of our observational knowledge.
