Abstract
Results of measurements of the wavelength distribution of Stokes parameters in a quiescent prominence are presented. These observations, made in the He I D3multiplet, allow vector magnetic fields to be determined using the Hanle effect as a basis for interpretation (House 1970a,b; 1971a,b; Sahal-Bréchot et al., 1977; and Bommier 1977).Keywords
