Solar Flares: Polarization

Scientific paper

Linear polarization of spectral lines in solar flares is mostly interpreted as an impact polarization resulting from line excitation by protons or electrons with an anisotropic velocity distribution. Detection of impact linear polarization encounters many difficulties both in the theoretical, instrumental and the interpretation levels. We summarize the current status in the field of used methods, measurements and processing of data and put some limits and constraints on the accuracy of the measurements and used methods. Particularly we describe several polarimeters, their results and we also discuss the possibility of measurements the impact linear polarization on the reconstructed horizontal solar telescope at Ondřejov.
