Abstract

A new inversion method derived from central moments of Zeeman line profiles (ICM), is used to determine magnetic field vectors (Mein et al. 2011). Two quantities A1 and A2 combining moments of profiles I ± S (S = Q,U,V) are nearly linear functions of the longitudinal and transverse components and lead to the field components through very fast iterations. Optimized exponents reduce noise effects. The ICM inversion does not require Milne Eddington approximation and can be used in a wide range of solar models.
