Sa. Kazantsev et Ag. Petrashen, SPECTROPOLARIMETRY OF H-ALPHA RADIATION OF SOLAR CHROMOSPHERE IN THE PRESENCE OF A NONUNIFORM MAGNETIC-FIELD, Optics and spectroscopy, 85(2), 1998, pp. 168-172
Polarization characteristics of H-alpha radiation of solar chromospher
e in the presence of a nonuniform magnetic field are considered. The a
bility of such a field to produce ordering of angular moments differen
t from that induced by an external source is illustrated, and the degr
ee of linear polarization measured by a terrestrial observer is studie
d as a function of the location of the emitting volume at the solar su
rface and the magnitude of the magnetic field.
