Outline • Introduction• Calibration of filter-based magnetograms : non-linear calibration, k-factor problem• Calibration of spectrometer-based magnetograms : Stokes V signal anomaly• Comparison of magnetograms • A new 180 ambiguity resolution method : Uniform Shear Method• Conclusions
Introduction • Magnetic field is the source of solar explosions• Routine observations available at the photosphere • We need 4 dimensional data (x,y,wavelength, Stokes
Vector) at a given time• Two types of solar magnetographs 1) filter-based : MSFC, BBSO, Huairou, Mitaka, IVM - narrow band filtergram (2D spatial, Stokes) - high time res., wide field of view 2) Spectrometer-based : ASP, HSP …… - Spectrometer (1D spatial +Stokes, spatial scan) - accurate field measurements with fill fraction

2. Calibration of Filter-based Magnetograms
Hagyard and Kineke(1995) developed an iterative procedure to improve the calibration using analytic solution of Stokes radiative equations

k-factor problem : Underestimation of magnetic field strength Gary et al(1987) : 8.1 to match Mount Wilson data Gary et al.(1991) : instrumental depolarization MSFC usually adopt k=4. Chae(1996) : seeing corrected fields still require a k-factor (k=2.2 ) Mitaka : to match both Bot and Bpt Huairou : non-linear calibration curves

The k-factor seems to be due to magnetic fill fraction: k=1/f

Magnetic fields vectors and thermodynamical parameters are simultaneously determined.Basic assumption : Milne Eddington Atmosphere (All parameters do not depend on optical depth)
3. Calibration of Spectrometer -based Magnetograms
ASP data, Bt=688 G, Bl= 971 G, i=35 degree
Bt=436 G, Bl= -10 G, i=89 degree
Community Inversion Code http://www.hao.ucar.edu/public/research/cic/
1. Melanie : Milne Eddington line analysis
2. Lilia : LTE inversion, stratification, individual lines
3. Dianne (beta) : Direct inversion using Neural Network
4. Comparison of different magnetograms
Wang et al.(1992)
Ronan et al.(1992)
Two anti-parallel polarization signals of the transverse fields are identical.
The only way to remove the ambiguity is to employ a new constraint from other physical or observational assumptions which are independent from Zeeman effect.
Importance : for a meaningful understanding of several important physical parameters such as vertical current density, shear angle etc.
5. A new 180 ambiguity resolution method
- Potential field assumption Best assumption : Minimize the difference betw
een observation and extrapolation - Magnetic charge method : Wang (1993)- Synthesized Method : Wang and Lin (1993) - Multi-step method : Canfield et al.(1993)- Functional Minimization (J or ): Metcalf(1994), Gary and Demoulin (1995) Georgoulis et al.(2004)-H observations : fibril alignment and/or chirality

1. Filter-based and Spectrometer-based magnetographs are complementary each other : Imaging Vector Magnetograph (MEES, BBSO)
2. Cross-comparison is recommended :
ASP data for quantitative measurements
MDI data for seeing effect
3. New missions : NST, SDO, Solar-B, ATST ….
4. What is a reasonable criterion to determine which ambiguity resolution method is correct.
: current minimization, Jz comparison
6. Concluding Remarks
