Abstract: |
The hydrogen Lyman-α line at 121.6 nm and the Mg II k line
at 279.5 nm are especially relevant for deciphering the magnetic structure
of the chromosphere since their line-center signals are formed in the
chromosphere and transition region, with unique sensitivities to magnetic
fields. We propose the Chromospheric LAyer Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP2), to
build upon the success of the first CLASP flight, which measured the linear
polarization in H I Lyman-α.
The existing CLASP instrument will be refitted to measure all four Stokes
parameters in the 280 nm range, including variations due to the anisotropic
radiation pumping, the Hanle effect, and the Zeeman effect. |
