Descripción
The new generation of solar instruments provides better spectral,
spatial, and temporal resolution for a better understanding of the
physical processes that take place on the Sun. Multiple-component
profiles are more commonly observed with these instruments.
Particularly, the He I 10830 Å triplet presents such peculiar
spectral profiles, which give information on the velocity and magnetic
fine structure of the upper chromosphere. The purpose of this
investigation is to describe a technique to efficiently fit the two
blended components of the He I 10830 Å triplet, which are commonly
observed when two atmospheric components are located within the same
resolution element. The observations used in this study were taken on
2015 April 17 with the very fast spectroscopic mode of the GREGOR
Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) attached to the 1.5-m GREGOR solar
telescope, located at the Observatorio del Teide, Tenerife, Spain. We
apply a double-Lorentzian fitting technique using Levenberg-Marquardt
least-squares minimization. This technique is very simple and much
faster than inversion codes. Line-of-sight Doppler velocities can be
inferred for a whole map of pixels within just a few minutes. Our
results show sub- and supersonic downflow velocities of up to 32 km
s-1 for the fast component in the vicinity of footpoints of
filamentary structures. The slow component presents velocities close to
rest.
