Description
A method is presented for reconstructing the intensity profile, I,
formed in the magnetic elements which have diameters smaller than the
best presently achievable spatial resolution. It follows the same line
as in Solanki and Stenflo (1984). As a starting point I and V of the
facula and the I observed in the quiet sun are used. The filling factor,
and the ratio between the continuum intensity of the magnetic and
nonmagnetic parts of the photosphere can be obtained indirectly. For
that purpose only the Unno equations, a triplet Zeeman pattern, a
longitudinal magnetic field and a two-component model are needed. The
method has been applied to some Fourier transform spectrometer data with
promising results. As the absolute continuum intensities are unkown,
rendering inaccurate the evaluation of the filling factor and the
continuum contrast, only the normalized I profile is obtained.
