Ca II K resonance line polarization
Description
The non-LTE equations for the transfer of polarized radiation are solved for a two-level model of the Ca II K ion in the atmospheric models of Gingerich et al. (1971) and Vernazza et al. (1981). An interpretation of the polarization profile for Ca II K is given, based on the results of Saliba (1984) and Saliba and Skumanich (1984). In addition, the diagnostic properties of polarization are discussed, and it is shown that future studies in polarization will be associated with the Q Stokes parameter rather than the percentage polarization. 16 references
