Abstract

The solution of the equations of transfer for the Stokes parameters in a magnetic field given by Unno (1956) has been generalized for a non-linear source function. Model calculations have been carried out for empiric atmosphere models of the photosphere and spots both for homogeneous magnetic fields and for a field strength gradient. Their influence on line contours and magnetographic calibration curves had been studied for the line FeI λ5250.2 Å.
