Scientific paper

We present a theoretical investigation on the influence of a deterministic magnetic field on the linear and circular polarization of the Na I, K I, and Ba II D2 lines. We describe the three ions by means of a three-level atomic model, and we take into account the hyperfine structure which is shown by some isotopes. We focus on the ``solar prominence case'', in which an optically thin slab of chromospheric plasma, situated 7000 km above the visible solar ``surface'', and permeated by a magnetic field of given strength and orientation, is illuminated from below by the continuum photospheric radiation field.
