A model for the formation of labyrinthine patterns by thin domains of magnetic fluids is described. The dynamics is derived variationally from an energy functional which reflects a competition between surface tension and long-range magnetic interactions. A detailed linear stability analysis for cir

The transfer equations for the Stokes parameters in the presence of magnetic field and under the hypothesis of LTE are derived in an original way by the use of density matrix techniques. The results are substantially the same as those previously obtained by other authors. We finally compare our res
Probability interpretation of radiative transfer is used to calculate the contribution of different layers of the solar atmosphere to the emergent intensity. Generally the mean depths of line formation increase with increasing intensity; this is valid also for arbitrarily polarized constituents of a
