Solar Spectrum: Polarization
Scientific paper
The coherent scattering in the solar atmosphere may give rise to a linear polarization of radiation. By use of an instrument with an accuracy of polarization degree measurements of 10-5, the spectrum of linearly polarized radiation can be obtained. This is called the second solar spectrum. It contains a large number of spectral structure, which are quite different from those of the common solar spectrum. By analysing the second solar spectrum, many kinds of solar research can be carried out. This paper presents an overall and brief introduction to this completely new field of research.
