"Some advances in photospheric and chromospheric diagnostic techniques: the 1.52 microns Mn I line and the He I 10830 A multiplet"







Résumé : I will present details of two observational tools that can help us understand some aspects of the solar magnetism. For chromospheric diagnostics, I will present a forward modeling and inversion code that permits to calculate the emergent intensity and polarization for any magnetic field taking into account the effect of atomic polarization. I present a recent application to the neutral helium 1083 nm multiplet, where we point out the importance of atomic polarization even for very large values of the magnetic field. Concerning the photosphere, I will present the details of a recently discovered Mn I line and its potential for infering information about the magnetic field strength of the solar photosphere.
