Direct Measurement of the Longitudinal Magnetic Field in the Solar Photosphere with the Zeeman Effect
摘要
The primary objective of our research is to validate direct measurements of the solar magnetic field through calculating the splitting of polarized spectral lines. The data are collected by the Solar Magnetism and Activity Telescope (SMAT) located at the Huairou Solar Observing Station (HSOS). The number of sampling points of the spectral line profile was varied from 5 to 31. By fitting the profiles of left- and right-circularly polarized light intensities, we determined the spectral line splitting, and the error between the magnetic-field strength determined from this and the true value was less than 2%. We found that the correlation between the magnetic-field strength measured in the active regions by SMAT and that observed by Helioseismic and Magmetic Imager (HMI) on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) reached about 80%, but in the quiet region, this correlation was very low.
