Solar limb faculae: Intensity contrast from two vantage points

Context. Small-scale magnetic-flux concentrations contribute significantly to the brightness variations of the Sun, yet observing them-particularly their magnetic field-near the solar limb remains challenging. The Solar Orbiter mission offers an unprecedented second vantage point for observing the S...

Sumario:Context. Small-scale magnetic-flux concentrations contribute significantly to the brightness variations of the Sun, yet observing them-particularly their magnetic field-near the solar limb remains challenging. The Solar Orbiter mission offers an unprecedented second vantage point for observing the Sun. When combined with observations from the perspective of Earth, this enables simultaneous dual-viewpoint measurements of these magnetic structures, thereby helping to mitigate observational limitations.
