Changes with Height of Longitudinal Magnetic Field in Active Regions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
Results of a study of longitudinal magnetic fields in active regions are presented. The observed magnetic field strength increases with height in the photosphere. The maximum of the magnetic field intensity coincides with the level where the central parts of λ5324,2 Å FeI and λ5269,5 FeI line profiles are formed. On the Hβ formation level the observed magnetic field intensity is smaller as compared with the potential one calculated on the basis of the observed field in FeI λ5253, 5Å line. The difference between the observed magnetic field and potential one is explained in terms of transverse electric currents. The current value can mount to 3×1011 A.
