摘要:

散射线偏振的物理解释提供了一个新的诊断窗口,探索太阳大气宁静区的热和磁结构。在这里,我们评估的影响各向同性碰撞中性氢原子的散射偏振信号的13条线的多重峰42钛I和那些K线和IR三重Ca II,强调附近的J-水平之间的碰撞转移率。为此,我们计算的线性极化散射过程中考虑现实的多级模型和解决的原子密度矩阵的多极组件的统计平衡方程。我们确认Ti I的多重态42的13条谱线的低能级被弹性碰撞完全去极化。我们发现,上层碰撞去极化原来有一个不明显的影响,除了${λ4536$线,它是可以注意到一个相当小的去极化引起的碰撞传输率。关于钙II线,我们表明,碰撞率上的K线的上一级的极化没有发挥作用,而他们有一个相当小的去极化作用的原子极化的亚稳态较低的水平的钙II IR三重态。

英文摘要:

The physical interpretation of scattering line polarization offers a novel diagnostic window for exploring the thermal and magnetic structure of the quiet regions of the solar atmosphere. Here we evaluate the impact of isotropic collisions with neutral hydrogen atoms on the scattering polarization signals of the 13 lines of multiplet 42 of Ti I and on those of the K line and of the IR triplet of Ca II, with emphasis on the collisional transfer rates between nearby J-levels. To this end, we calculate the linear polarization produced by scattering processes considering realistic multilevel models and solving the statistical equilibrium equations for the multipolar components of the atomic density matrix. We confirm that the lower levels of the 13 lines of multiplet 42 of Ti I are completely depolarized by elastic collisions. We find that upper-level collisional depolarization turns out to have an unnoticeable impact on the emergent linear polarization amplitudes, except for the ${λ4536$ line for which it is possible to notice a rather small depolarization caused by the collisional transfer rates. Concerning the Ca II lines, we show that the collisional rates play no role on the polarization of the upper level of the K line, while they have a rather small depolarizing effect on the atomic polarization of the metastable lower levels of the Ca II IR triplet.
