With the advent of a new generation of solar telescopes and instrumentation, the interpretation of chromospheric observations (in particular, spectro-polarimetry) requires new, suitable diagnostic tools. This paper describes a new code, NICOLE, that has been designed for Stokes non-LTE radiative transfer, both for synthesis and inversion of spectral lines and Zeeman-induced polarization profiles, spanning a wide range of atmospheric heights, from the photosphere to the chromosphere. The code fosters a number of unique features and capabilities and has been built from scratch with a powerful parallelization scheme that makes it suitable for application on massive datasets using large supercomputers. The source code is being publicly released, with the idea of facilitating future branching by other groups to augment its capabilities.

  1. Towards understanding stellar variability at the sub m/s level: granulation-induced variability across the optical spectrum

    astro-ph.SR 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0

    Using 3D solar simulations, 72 spectral lines show that weak lines have the largest granulation-induced RV variability (up to 40–50 m/s), strong lines vary most in equivalent width, and most lines' RV and width change...
