摘要:

在各种谱线中的散射偏振和汉勒效应的观测越来越多地用于补充传统的太阳磁场测定技术。光球层中最强的散射偏振信号之一是在靠近太阳边缘观测时在4607.3的Sr I线中测量到的。在这里,我们提出了第一个观测证据的汉勒旋转的线偏振光谱,这在几个肢体的距离。我们在IRSOL天文台使用Zurich IMaging Polarimeter,ZIMPOL进行了观察,具有非常好的视宁条件,允许长的积分时间。我们将快速调制偏振计和安装在望远镜前的慢速调制器结合起来。这种组合允许光谱偏振数据的测量是高度精确和前所未有的准确。将正斯托克斯$Q$的参考方向固定为平行于肢体,我们检测到远高于噪声水平的单峰$U/I$信号。我们可以排除这种$U/I$信号的仪器来源。这些特征只在Sr I线中发现,但不在相邻的Fe I线中,因此消除了塞曼效应作为其出现的机制。然而,我们发现一个明确的空间相关性之间的圆偏振产生的塞曼效应和$U/I$振幅。这表明检测到的$U/I$信号是由空间分辨的磁场引起的汉勒旋转的特征。一种新的测量技术允许以前所未有的精度确定偏振的绝对水平。使用这种技术,高精度spectropolarimetric观测揭示了第一次明确的$U/I$信号由于汉勒旋转的Sr I线。

英文摘要:

Observations of scattering polarization and the Hanle effect in various spectral lines are increasingly used to complement traditional solar magnetic field determination techniques. One of the strongest scattering polarization signals in the photosphere is measured in the Sr I line at 4607.3 Å when observed close to the solar limb. Here, we present the first observational evidence of Hanle rotation in the linearly polarized spectrum of this at several limb distances. We observed with the Zurich IMaging POLarimeter, ZIMPOL, at the IRSOL observatory, with exceptionally good seeing conditions, allowing for long integration times. We combined the fast modulating polarimeter with a slow modulator installed in front of the telescope. This combination allows the measurement of spectropolarimetric data being highly precise and unprecedentedly accurate. Fixing the reference direction for positive Stokes $Q$ parallel to the limb, we detect singly-peaked $U/I$ signals well above the noise level. We can exclude instrumental origin for such $U/I$ signals. These signatures are exclusively found in the Sr I line, but not in the adjoining Fe I line, therefore eliminating the Zeeman effect as the mechanism responsible for their appearance. However, we find a clear spatial correlation between the circular polarization produced by the Zeeman effect and the $U/I$ amplitudes. This suggests that the detected $U/I$ signals are the signatures of Hanle rotation caused by a spatially resolved magnetic field. A novel measurement technique allows for determining the absolute level of polarization with unprecedented precision. Using this technique, high-precision spectropolarimetric observations reveal for the first time unambiguous $U/I$ signals due to Hanle rotation in the Sr I line.
