Structure and dynamics of isolated internetwork Ca II H bright points observed by SUNRISE

2013 
Aims. We aim to improve our picture of the low chromosphere in the quiet-Sun internetwork by investigating the intensity, horizontal velocity, size and lifetime variations of small bright points (BPs; diameter smaller than 0.3 arcsec) observed in the Ca ii H 3968 A passband along with their magnetic field parameters, derived from photospheric magnetograms. Methods. Several high-quality time series of disc-centre, quiet-Sun observations from the Sunrise balloon-borne solar telescope, with spatial resolution of around 100 km on the solar surface, have been analysed to study the dynamics of BPs observed in the Ca ii H passband and their dependence on the photospheric vector magnetogram signal. Results. Parameters such as horizontal velocity, diameter, intensity and lifetime histograms of the isolated internetwork and magn
