Diagnostics of weak magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere through THEMIS observationsand
M. Faurobert and J. Arnaud
We have measured with THEMIS significant linear polarization in molecular lines of C2 and MgH and, in various atomic lines, such as the BaII 455.4 nm resonance line observed in the low chromosphere. I will present some interpretations of these measurements, based on a modelisation of the photospheric light scattering by molecules or atoms in the low chromosphere. I will discuss the diagnostics which can be derived from these measurements.
