Original abstract

The routine measurements of the Stokes $IQUV$ signals of emission lines in the solar corona is still a challenging endeavor, particularly for observations using small-aperture instruments. Therefore, recent studies have explored the use of coronal seismology and propagating Alfvénic waves as alternative diagnostics of the coronal magnetic field. In particular, Yang et al. (2024) showed that plane-of-sky (POS) phase-speed measurements provide a direct and consistent diagnostic of the POS magnetic-field component (B$_{\text{POS}}$). Building on recent theoretical advances in solar coronal polarization, we devise a novel inversion scheme and extended the CLEDB software package (Paraschiv & Judge 2022) to exploit Stokes $IQU$ observations of two coronal emission lines combined with coronal-seismology derived B$_{\text{POS}}$ estimations. Using this framework, we perform a comprehensive statistical analysis demonstrating that this combination of diagnostics allows us to infer both magnetic field orientation and strength with an accuracy comparable to that of Stokes $IQUV$ spectropolarimetry. This type of diagnostics is particularly suited for the Fe XIII 1074.7 nm and 1079.8 nm line pair routinely observed by new-generation instruments such as DKIST Cryo-NIRSP, DL-NIRSP, MLSO CoMP/UCoMP, and targeted by the future COSMO and CORSAIR efforts.
