Infrared Dual-line Hanle diagnostic of the Coronal Vector Magnetic Field

Measuring the coronal vector magnetic field is still a major challenge in solar physics. This is due to the intrinsic weakness of the field (e.g. ~4G at a height of 0.1Rsun above an active region) and the large thermal broadening of coronal emission lines. We propose using concurrent linear polariza...
