A Method for Solving 180 Degree Ambiguity in Observed Solar Transverse Magnetic Field Huaning Wang National Astronomical Observatories Chinese Academy Of Sciencies Contents 1. Introduction 2. The best fit force-free factor 3. Examples 1. Introduction (1) It is an intrinsic problem (figure 1) arising from the linear polarized component in Zeeman’s splitting. Theoretical criteria are needed to determine the direction of the azimuth of observed transverse field Potential field Linear force-free field Zero-divergence Minimum energy solution All of these criteria have their limitations. Figure 1 Observed field with 180 Degree Ambiguity (3) Observed coronal loops can be taken as references Coronal loops -- Inferred coronal magnetic field -- Observed photospheric magnetic field Inferred field lines from observed photospheric field should be in agreement with coronal loops (figure 2) (4) The force-free factor determines the global configuration of the inferred field Try to find the best fit force-free factor in an active region! Figure 2 Trace Observation （1）Bo(x,y) -- observed transverse field Bi (x,y) -- inferred transverse field P(x,y)= S= （2）Bi is determined with linear force- free model by taking observed longitudinal field as boundary condition 2. The best fit force-free factor （3） Select suitable value of force-free factor (α_best ) to obtain maximum value of S (4) Bo is calibrated with Bi , which is inferred field based on linear force-free model (α=α_best ) (5) Note: The noise level of observed transverse magnetic field should be determine. The field in the noisy area cannot be included in the integration. （1） Comparison between inferred field lines and coronal loops observed by TRAC
