多维介质中极化线的形成。III。部分频率重分布下的Hanle效应

Polarized Line Formation in Multi-Dimensional Media.III. Hanle Effect with Partial Frequency Redistribution

L. S. Anusha, K. N. Nagendra

摘要:

在前两篇论文\citet{anuknn11}和\citet{anuetal11}中,我们求解了多维几何中的极化辐射转移(RT)方程,并将部分频率再分布(PRD)作为散射机制。在这两篇论文中,我们假设瑞利散射是线性偏振($Q/I, U/I$)的唯一来源。在本文中,我们扩展了这些以前的工作,包括弱定向磁场(汉勒效应)的影响线散射。我们推广的不可约球张量$\mathcal{T}^K_Q$,在\citet{anuknn11},RT与汉勒效应的情况下,Stokes矢量分解的技术。在\citet{anuetal11}中发展的一种快速迭代解法(基于稳定预处理双共轭梯度法),现在推广到三维磁化介质中RT的情况。我们使用有效的短特征形式的多维介质的解决方案,适当地推广到目前的情况下。(1)一维介质中的出射$(I, Q/I, U/I)$剖面与多维介质中的出射、空间平均剖面的比较表明,在空间分辨结构中,一维假设会导致线偏振的较大误差,特别是在线翼中。(2)在半无限非磁性介质中的多维RT导致了强烈的空间变化的紧急$(Q/I, U/I)$配置文件,这是更明显的线翼。(3)弱磁场的存在通过产生其幅度的显著变化来修改线芯中的出射$(Q/I, U/I)$轮廓的空间变化。

英文摘要:

In the previous two papers, namely, \citet{anuknn11} and \citet{anuetal11} we solved the polarized radiative transfer (RT) equation in multi-dimensional (multi-D) geometries, with partial frequency redistribution (PRD) as the scattering mechanism. We assumed Rayleigh scattering as the only source of linear polarization ($Q/I, U/I$) in both these papers. In this paper we extend these previous works to include the effect of weak oriented magnetic fields (Hanle effect) on line scattering. We generalize the technique of Stokes vector decomposition in terms of the irreducible spherical tensors $\mathcal{T}^K_Q$, developed in \citet{anuknn11}, to the case of RT with Hanle effect. A fast iterative method of solution (based on the Stabilized Preconditioned Bi-Conjugate-Gradient technique), developed in \citet{anuetal11}, is now generalized to the case of RT in magnetized three-dimensional media. We use the efficient short-characteristics formal solution method for multi-D media, generalized appropriately to the present context. The main results of this paper are the following: (1) A comparison of emergent $(I, Q/I, U/I)$ profiles formed in one-dimensional (1D) media, with the corresponding emergent, spatially averaged profiles formed in multi-D media, shows that in the spatially resolved structures, the assumption of 1D may lead to large errors in linear polarization, especially in the line wings. (2) The multi-D RT in semi-infinite non-magnetic media causes a strong spatial variation of the emergent $(Q/I, U/I)$ profiles, which is more pronounced in the line wings. (3) The presence of a weak magnetic field modifies the spatial variation of the emergent $(Q/I, U/I)$ profiles in the line core, by producing significant changes in their magnitudes.
