Codes

One of the goals of POLMAG is the development of the “Polarized Radiation Diagnostics Website”, where any scientist interested in doing science through the interpretation of spectro-polarimetric observations will find our spectral synthesis and Stokes inversion codes documented in a user-friendly way. For the moment, the following ones are available to the astrophysical community.

PORTA

PORTA (POlarized Radiative TrAnsfer) is a radiative transfer code for the simulation of the spectral line intensity and polarization caused by scattering processes and the Hanle and Zeeman effects in 3D models of stellar atmospheres. More information.

Hazel

HAZEL (Hanle and Zeeman Light) is a computer program for the synthesis and inversion of Stokes profiles resulting from the joint action of atomic level polarization and the Hanle and Zeeman effects. More information.
