Simulation of quiet Sun waves in the Ca II infrared triplet

Astrophysics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

The Ca II infrared triplet around 8540 A is a good candidate for observing chromospheric magnetism. We show results from combining a radiation hydrodynamic simulation with a Stokes synthesis code. The simulation shows interesting time-varying behavior of the Stokes V profiles as waves propagate through the lines' formation regions. Disappearing and reappearing lobes in the Stokes V profiles as well as profile asymmetries are closely related to the atmospheric velocity gradients.
