Journal: Odessa Astronomical Publications

In this study we present the old and new observational data concerning the problem of extreme magnetic fields (  5 kG) in the Sun's atmosphere. We emphasize that the upper limit of the intensity of the magnetic field in the solar atmosphere is unknown to date. Severny (1957) heuristically suggested that the magnetic fields in the sunspots could reach 50 kG. As for the observational data, at least three arguments in favor of the magnetic fields of the order of 104 G can be specified: (1) the de
