โฆ Synopsis
The analysis procedure proposed by Auer et al. (1977) for deducing magnetic field vectors from Stokes profiles has been tested to investigate the influence of magneto-optical effects on the deduced field parameters. The quality of the fit between synthetic profiles generated with the inclusion of magneto-optical effects and the profiles returned by the inversion routine is also investigated. The results show that magneto-optical effects should be included in the inversion routine especially to increase the accuracy of the deduce~ azimuth of the magnetic field.

We compare the results of two distinct methods for deriving photospheric vector magnetic fields from the Zeeman effect as observed in the Fe I line at 6302.5 A at high spectral resolution (45 mA.). One method ignores magneto-optical effects but allows for an absolute determination of B from the inte
