Abstract

The magnetic field of sunspots has been well studied in their photospheric layers, but is poorly known in the upper chromosphere. Here we present state-of-the-art inversions of the stokes vectors of the He I triplet at 1083 nm and of a photospheric Si I line which give us a map of the magnetic vector in the upper chromosphere, as well as in the photosphere. These maps are analyzed to discuss the differences between the photospheric and the chromospheric upper magnetic structure of sunspots.
