Description
We show preliminary results of an ongoing investigation aimed at
determining the configuration of the magnetic field vector in the
threads of a quiescent hedgerow solar prominence using high-spatial
resolution spectropolarimetric observations taken in the He I 1083.0 nm
multiplet. The data consist of a two-dimensional map of a quiescent
hedgerow prominence showing vertical threads. The observations were
obtained with the Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter attached to the German
Vacuum Tower Telescope at the Observatorio del Teide (Spain). The He I
1083.0 nm Stokes signals are interpreted with an inversion code, which
takes into account the key physical processes that generate and/or
modify circular and linear polarization signals in the He I 1083.0 nm
triplet: the Zeeman effect, anisotropic radiation pumping, and the Hanle
effect. We present initial results of the inversions, i.e, the strength
and orientation of the magnetic field vector along the prominence and in
prominence threads.
