The Hanle Effect as a Diagnostic of Magnetic Fields in Stellar Envelopes IV. Application to Polarized P Cygni Wind Lines
The Hanle effect has been proposed as a new diagnostic of circumstellar magnetic fields for early-type stars, for which it is sensitive to field strengths in the 1-300 G range. In this paper we compute the polarized P-Cygni line profiles that result from the Hanle effect. For modeling the polarization, we employ a variant of the “last scattering approximation”. For cases in which the Sobolev op...

Hanle-effect observations of forbidden coronal line transitions and recently also longitudinal Zeeman-effect measurements of coronal lines show quantitative signatures of the weak coronal magnetic field. The interpretation of these observations is, however, complicated by the fact that they are the result of line-of-sight integrations through the optically thin corona. We study by means of simu...
متن کاملHanle-Zeeman scattering matrix
A theory is presented that allows the Mueller matrix for coherent scattering to be calculated for arbitrary magnetic fields, atomic multiplets, and scattering transitions (Rayleigh or Raman scattering). For the special case of a normal Zeeman triplet (a J = 0 → 1 → 0 scattering transition) a compact analytical form for the scattering matrix is given, which allows us to better see how the variou...
متن کاملInfrared Dual-Line Hanle Diagnostic of the Coronal Vector Magnetic Field
Measuring the coronal vector magnetic field is still a major challenge in solar physics. This is due to the intrinsic weakness of the field (e.g., ∼ 4G at a height of 0.1R⊙ above an active region) and the large thermal broadening of coronal emission lines. We propose using concurrent linear polarization measurements of near-infrared forbidden and permitted lines together with Hanle effect model...
متن کاملHanle effect observations with the Ca I 4227 Å line
The Hanle effect in the Ca i 4227 Å line has been explored through the analysis of a large number of Stokes profile recordings obtained on the quiet Sun with the beam-splitter polarimeter system at IRSOL (Istituto Ricerche Solari Locarno). In contrast to previous Hanle observations with this line, which were limited to the Stokes I and Q parameters, we are now in a position to study the combine...
