Solar Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The non-LTE equations for the transfer of polarized radiation are solved for a two-level model of the Ca ii K ion in the atmospheric models of Gingerich et al. (1971) and Vernazza et al. (1981). The line formation model treats partial redistribution effects, including collisions. The effects of magnetic fields and of quantum mechanical interference are neglected. The response of the intensity, percentage polarization and Q Stokes parameter to changes in the calcium abundance, van der Waals damping parameter and atmospheric models is discussed.
