摘要:

由各向异性辐射在Ca I 4227 $\mathrm{Å}$线的核心散射产生的相当大的线偏振信号构成了探测低太阳色球层的非均匀和动态等离子体的重要观测。在这里,我们显示的三维(3D)的辐射转移完整的频率再分布(CRD)调查线的散射偏振的磁流体动力学的3D模型的太阳大气的结果。我们不仅考虑了由模型的磁场产生的Hanle效应,而且考虑了由水平不均匀性和宏观速度梯度引起的对称性破缺。宏观速度的水平分量的空间梯度在不需要磁场的情况下产生非常显著的前向散射极化信号,而Hanle效应倾向于在模型的磁场强于约5 G的位置处使它们去极化。标准的1.5D近似被认为是不适合理解线的散射偏振,但我们引入了一种新的改进,这种近似产生的结果与完整的3D结果的定性协议。计算的偏振信号的仪器退化也进行了研究,显示了我们可以期待在即将到来的丹尼尔K。Inouye太阳望远镜。

英文摘要:

The sizable linear polarization signals produced by the scattering of anisotropic radiation in the core of the Ca I 4227 $\mathrm{Å}$ line constitute an important observable for probing the inhomogeneous and dynamic plasma of the lower solar chromosphere. Here we show the results of a three-dimensional (3D) radiative transfer complete frequency redistribution (CRD) investigation of the line's scattering polarization in a magneto-hydrodynamical 3D model of the solar atmosphere. We take into account not only the Hanle effect produced by the model's magnetic field, but also the symmetry breaking caused by the horizontal inhomogeneities and macroscopic velocity gradients. The spatial gradients of the horizontal components of the macroscopic velocities produce very significant forward scattering polarization signals without the need of magnetic fields, while the Hanle effect tends to depolarize them at the locations where the model's magnetic field is stronger than about 5 G. The standard 1.5D approximation is found to be unsuitable for understanding the line's scattering polarization, but we introduce a novel improvement to this approximation that produces results in qualitative agreement with the full 3D results. The instrumental degradation of the calculated polarization signals is also investigated, showing what can we expect to observe with the Visible Spectro-Polarimeter at the upcoming Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope.
