Descripción
The near-IR line of Mn I at 15262.7 Å has recently been proposed
as a new tool for diagnosing the magnetic field strength and magnetic
energy density associated with unresolved magnetic structures, due to
the enhanced sensitivity of the Stokes I profile. In this paper, the
behavior of the line, focusing on the properties of the Stokes I
profile, is analyzed in detail with the aid of state-of-the-art
magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of the solar surface convection. The
line is synthesized taking into account that the splitting and the
strength of the Zeeman components have to be calculated under the
framework of the Paschen-Back theory via the numerical diagonalization
of the total Hamiltonian, including the hyperfine and Zeeman
contributions. The peak ratio and separation of the blue and red lobes
of the emergent Stokes I profile are shown to be correlated with the
magnetic field strength when no smearing is taken into account, while
the correlation slightly degrades when diffraction and stray-light
contamination is accounted for. We also analyze the dependence of the
first two line moments with the magnetic field, showing that the first
and second moments can be used to trace the velocity and the magnetic
field strength, respectively. This correlation is still maintained for
ground-based observations.

Los campos magnéticos están presentes en todos los plasmas astrofísicos y controlan la mayor parte de la variabilidad que se observa en el Universo a escalas temporales intermedias. Se encuentran en estrellas, a lo largo de todo el diagrama de Hertzsprung-Russell, en galaxias, e incluso quizás en el medio intergaláctico. La polarización de la luz
