| Abstract: |
The 400 arcsec spectrograph slit of CLASP crossed mainly quiet regions of the solar chromosphere, from the limb towards the solar disk center. Interestingly, in the CLASP slit-jaw images and in the SDO images of the He II line at 304 Å, we can identify a filament channel (FC) extending over more than 60 arcsec crossing the slit of the spectrograph. In order to interpret the peculiar spatial variation of the Q/I and U/I signals observed by CLASP in the hydrogen Lyα line (1216 Å), we perform multi-dimensional radiative transfer modeling in given filament models. In this contribution, we show the first results of the two-dimensional calculations we have carried out, with the aim of determining the filament thermal and magnetic structure by comparing the theoretical and the observed polarization signals. Our results suggest that the temperature gradients in the filament observed by CLASP are significantly larger than previously thought. |
