Modeling of chromospheric features and dynamics in solar plage

• The chromosphere is a dynamic and complex layer where all the relevant physical processes happen on very small spatio-temporal scales. A few spectral lines that can be used as chromospheric diagnostics give us convoluted information that is hard to interpret without realistic theoretical models. What are the key ingredients that these models need to contain? The magnetic field has a paramount effect on chromospheric structuring. This is obvious from the ubiquitous presence of chromospheric dynamic fibrilar structures visible on the solar disk and at the limb. The numerical experiments presented in this manuscript illustrate the present state of modeling. They showcase to what extent our models reproduce various chromospheric features and their dynamics. The publication describes the effect different ingredients have on chromospheric models and provides a recipe for building one-to-one models. Combining these models with observations will provide insight into the physical processes that take place in the solar atmosphere.
