Formation of the Mg ii h and k Polarization Profiles in a Solar Plage Model and Their Suitability to Infer Magnetic Fields

Formation of the Mg ii h and k Polarization Profiles in a Solar Plage Model and Their Suitability to Infer Magnetic Fields

The Mg ii h and k lines are among the strongest in the near-ultraviolet solar spectrum and their line core originates in the upper chromosphere, just below the transition region. Consequently, they have become one of the main targets for investigating the magnetism of the upper solar atmosphere. The...
