Descripción
Aims.The purpose of this work is to analyze the reliability of the
magnetic field strengths inferred from the 630 nm pair of Fe i lines in
internetwork quiet Sun regions. Methods: .Some numerical
experiments have been performed that demonstrate the inability of these
lines to recover the magnetic field strength in such low flux solar
regions. Results: .It is shown how different model atmospheres,
with magnetic field strengths ranging from a few hundred Gauss to
kiloGauss, give rise to Stokes profiles that cannot be distinguished.
The reasons for this degeneracy are discussed.
