Analysis of the Transverse Magnetic Field in Solar Active Regions by the Huairou Vector Magnetograph

In this paper, we analyse Stokes parameters I,Q,U of the Fei 5324.19Å line, calculated with radiative transfer equations in a solar model atmosphere with a magnetic field, and the influence of magneto-optical effects on the measurement of transverse magnetic field. It is found that the measurement of azimuthal angles of the transverse field is obviously disturbed by the magneto-optical effects. We compare with the observational Stokes images Q and U at different wavelengths from the center to the wing of the Fei 5324.19Å line obtained at Huairou Solar Observing Station of Beijing Astronomical Observatory to confirm azimuthal angles of the transverse field, because the insignificant influence of magneto-optical effects in the far wing of the line was found by the theoretical analysis. The accuracy of azimuthal angles of the transverse field measured near the Fei 5324.19Å line center has been estimated.
