NLTE Model of a Quiescent Filament
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The Sacramento Peak Observatory VTT Echelle Spectrograph was used to obtain high resolution spectrograms of the filament at W06° S27° observed on April 9, 1991 in hydrogen Hα, Hβ, and CaII H and λ 8498 lines. The line profiles were measured and digitized. A numerical code based on the MALI approach with partial frequency redistribution (PRD) in resonance lines was applied to obtain theoretical profiles of hydrogen and CaII lines. As a result of fitting the observed and calculated profiles, the physical parameters of the filament plasma were obtained. They include temperature, gas pressure, electron density and turbulent velocity.
