Hyperfine structure and the broadening of sunspot spectral lines

  • 1. Colorado Univ., Boulder

Description

The combined effects of hyperfine structure and Zeeman splitting have been calculated for the alpha 6D(1/2)-Z6D(1/2) line of Mn I at wavelength 4070.28 A, which is observed as a broad line in sunspot spectra. An effective Z factor is defined to represent the mean position of the strong components of the line for fields above 500 G. This Z factor might provide a method of monitoring sunspot magnetic fields. 14 references
