Abstract
A series of 17 Fourier transform spectra taken at the McMath telescope near disk center in regions of different magnetic field strengths were analyzed. Applying a multi-variate regression analysis magnetic filling factors 0 < α ≤ 0.11 were determined. With a increasing from 0 to 0.11, line bisectors averaged over groups of lines of similar depth are found to show a blue shift decreasing from 0.35 km s-1to nearly 0.1 km s-1, when referred to the MgI line λ5172.7Å. The bisectors of FeII lines exhibit smaller blue shifts than FeI lines. The increase of bisector red shift near the continuum with increasing α, found earlier by Brandt and Solanki (1987), was confirmed and is tentatively interpreted as a manifestation of downdrafts in the vicinity of flux tubes (Deinzer et al., 1984).
A significant increase of line width (typically between 3 and 8%, depending on line strength) and a decrease of line depth is found with increasing filling factor. For strong lines the equivalent width W shows no variation or a slight increase, while for the weaker lines a reduction of W between a few % and > 10% is found.
