Facular points and small-scale magnetic elements
Abstract
We present spectroscopic observations, with high spatial resolution, of Ca ii K bright points very near the disc centre. Magnetic concentrations have been detected in these network (facular) points by only using intensity profiles of the well-known pair of lines Fe i5250.22 Å and 5247.06 Å. No brightening of these structures with respect to the quiet photosphere can be ascertained within an accuracy threshold of 1.2%.
