Depolarization and Polarization-Transfer Rates for Solar He I Lines due to Collisions with Neutral Hydrogen

Moncef Derouich, Saleh Qutub

Context. Neutral helium (He I) produces several spectral lines that are widely used for solar diagnostics. The role of collisions between He I atoms and neutral hydrogen (H I) in t…

Collisional and magnetic effects on the polarization of the solar oxygen infrared triplet

Moncef Derouich, Saleh Qutub

Context: The scattering polarization of the infrared (IR) triplet of neutral oxygen (O\,\textsc{i}) near 777\,nm provides a powerful diagnostic of solar atmospheric conditions. How…

On the collisional sensitivity of polarized Mg II solar lines

M. Derouich, S. Qutub

Neutral and singly ionized states of the Magnesium (Mg) are the origin of several spectral lines that are useful for solar diagnostic purposes. An important element in modeling suc…

Depolarization of MgH Solar Lines by Collisions with Hydrogen Atoms

Saleh Qutub, Yulia Kalugina, Moncef Derouich

Interpretations of the very rich second solar spectrum of the MgH molecule face serious problems owing to the complete lack of any information about rates of collisions between the…

Effect of the isotropic collisions with neutral hydrogen on the polarization of the CN solar molecule

S. Qutub, M. Derouich, Y. N. Kalugina +2

Our work is concerned with the case of the solar molecule CN which presents conspicuous profiles of scattering polarization. We start by calculating accurate PES for the singlet an…
