Photometric Properties of Quiet Sun Observed With the DKIST and HINODE

The variability of irradiance is primarily influenced by surface magnetism, such as sunspots, faculae, and network structures. Each of these features contributes differently to the overall variability. However, the impact of small magnetic elements, which are commonly observed in high resolution images of the solar photosphere but remain unresolved in full-disk images used for irradiance modeling, is still a topic of debate. Understanding the influence of these small magnetic elements to the overall brightness, particularly in quiet regions, is fundamental to understanding irradiance fluctuations over decadal and longer temporal scales. We investigate the brightness of small-size magnetic elements using very high spatial resolution spectro-polarimetric observations acquired at different spectral ranges with the National Science Foundations Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) and with HINODE/SOT. Our results are compared to 3D MHD Small Solar Dynamo simulations obtained with the MURaM code.
