Description
Using spectropolarimetric data of an Active Region (AR) filament we have
carried out inversions in order to infer vector magnetic fields in the
photosphere (Si I line) and in the chromosphere (He I line). Our
filament lies above the polarity inversion line (PIL) situated close to
disk center and presents strong Zeeman-like signatures in both
photospheric and chromospheric lines. Pore-like formations with both
polarities are identified in the continuum under the PIL. The azimuth
ambiguity is solved at both heights using the AZAM code. A comparison
between the photospheric and chromospheric vector magnetic fields
revealed that they are well aligned in some areas of the filament.
However, especially at chromospheric heights, the magnetic field is
mostly aligned with the dark threads of the filament. Velocity
signatures indicating upflows of field lines are found at both heights.
The combination of all these findings strongly suggests an emerging flux
rope scenario.
