Descripción
The magnetic sensitivity of the solar spectrum is caused by the Zeeman effect and by a variety of less familiar physical mechanisms by means of which a magnetic field can create and destroy spectral line polarization. This paper highlights how plasma diagnostic tools based on them could help us to explore the magnetism of the quiet regions of the solar photosphere and chromosphere. A few suggestions for increasing the discovery potential of some telescopes and polarimeters are also given.
