Abstract

A new solar spectromagnetograph for measuring the full magnetic-field vector and line-of-sight velocities is described. A new version of a polarization analyzer ensuring parallel measurements of six polarization components of spectral lines is considered. The spectromagnetograph allows the use of any algorithms for obtaining the magnetic fields vector, in particular, the Babcock algorithm and the Fourier transform technique. The sensitivity of the instrument for the longitudinal and transverse magnetic field is ∼ 3–5 and ∼ 20–30 G, respectively, and ∼10 m/s for the line-of-sight velocities.
