The data were observed on 2012 January 29 for the NOAA active region 11408. Adopting the center-of-gravity (COG) approach we obtain the line-of-sight (LOS) field strength for the chromospheric IBIS data of Ca II 8542 A line. The LOS strength of the magnetic field is determined in the target active region inside a field of view 45 x 95 arcsec. The LOS field values were found to be increase up to 800 G inside the umbral region and decrease systematically toward the edges of a sunspot. Under the weak field approximation (WFA), the horizontal, vertical magnetic field components and azimuthal field vector are obtained.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-12-19T09:09:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "chromospheric magnetic fields", "spectropolarimetry", "weak field approximation", "analyze spectropolarimetric observations", "interferometric bidimensional spectrometer" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
