Description
We present a theoretical investigation on the influence of a
deterministic magnetic field on the linear and circular polarization of
the Na I, K I, and Ba II D2 lines. We describe the three
ions by means of a three-level atomic model, and we take into account
the hyperfine structure which is shown by some isotopes. We focus on
the ``solar prominence case'', in which an optically thin slab of
chromospheric plasma, situated 7000 km above the visible solar
``surface'', and permeated by a magnetic field of given strength and
orientation, is illuminated from below by the continuum photospheric
radiation field.
