Abstract
The analysis procedure proposed by Auer et al. (1977) for deducing magnetic field vectors from Stokes profiles has been tested to investigate the influence of magneto-optical effects on the deduced field parameters. The quality of the fit between synthetic profiles generated with the inclusion of magneto-optical effects and the profiles returned by the inversion routine is also investigated. The results show that magneto-optical effects should be included in the inversion routine especially to increase the accuracy of the deduced, azimuth of the magnetic field.
