Measuring chromospheric magnetic field with ALMA
Abstract
Polarized radio emission at millimeter wavelengths provides an alternative method for measuring magnetic field in the solar chromosphere. We use simulated millimeter brightness calculated from recent 3D MHD models of the quiet-Sun regions to estimate the magnetic field at the chromospheric heights. We discuss the results of this investigation in the light of the future solar observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA).
