Scientific paper

We report a study of the quiet sun's magnetic field based on high-resolution infrared spectropolarimetric observations (TIP/VTT). We find that in almost 50% of the pixels Stokes V and in 15% the Stokes Q and/or U profiles have a signal above 10-3. The statistical properties of the mainly intranetwork field sampled by these observations are presented, showing that most of the observed fields are weak (the field strength distribution peaks at 350 G and has a FWHM of 300 G) with very few kG features. The magnetized regions occupy a very small fill fractions (about 2%). The field changes properties on granular spatial scales and the size of the patches formed by similar profiles is close to 1". Most of the parameters of the observed polarization profiles show correlations with granulation parameters.
