| Authors | M. Sampoorna |
| Abstract | Information about magnetic fields prevailing in the solar atmosphere is encoded in the polarized line spectrum of the Sun. Thus, probing the solar vector magnetic field requires the solution of the polarized line transfer equation in arbitrary magnetic fields that includes the combined influence of Hanle and Zeeman effects. In this talk we present our recent work on polarized line formation in arbitrary magnetic fields. We present the numerically computed emergent Stokes profiles for a range of magnetic fields. We also, discuss the importance of accounting for partial frequency redistribution (PRD) in scattering that is known to be a necessary ingredient to model the strong chromospheric lines. |
