Description
In this publication, we continue the work started in Quintero Noda et
al., examining this time a numerical simulation of a magnetic flux tube
concentration. Our goal is to study if the physical phenomena that take
place in it, in particular, the magnetic pumping, leaves a specific
imprint on the examined spectral lines. We find that the profiles from
the interior of the flux tube are periodically doppler shifted following
an oscillation pattern that is also reflected in the amplitude of the
circular polarization signals. In addition, we analyse the properties of
the Stokes profiles at the edges of the flux tube discovering the
presence of linear polarization signals for the Ca II lines, although
they are weak with an amplitude around 0.5 per cent of the continuum
intensity. Finally, we compute the response functions to perturbations
in the longitudinal field, and we estimate the field strength using the
weak-field approximation. Our results indicate that the height of
formation of the spectral lines changes during the magnetic pumping
process, which makes the interpretation of the inferred magnetic field
strength and its evolution more difficult. These results complement
those from previous works, demonstrating the capabilities and
limitations of the 850-nm spectrum for chromospheric Zeeman polarimetry
in a very dynamic and complex atmosphere.

Magnetic fields are at the base of star formation and stellar structure and evolution. When stars are born, magnetic fields brake the rotation during the collapse of the mollecular cloud. In the end of the life of a star, magnetic fields can play a key role in the form of the strong winds that lead to the last stages of stellar evolution. During
