Abstract
Abstract The infrared Mg i lines near 12 μm are a pair of emission lines that are magnetically sensitive and have been used to measure solar magnetic fields. Here we calculate the response of the Mg i 12.32 μm line during a flare and find that in our modeling this line has a complicated behavior. At the beginning of the flare heating, this line shows an intensity dimming at the line center. The intensity then increases when heating continues, with increasing contributions from the heated layers in the chromosphere. The line formation height and the line width also increase as a result. As for the polarized line profiles, we find that flare heating tends to decrease the Zeeman splitting width and attenuates the Stokes V lobe intensity. The wider features in the Stokes V profiles are more pronounced during flare heating, which should be considered when performing magnetic field inversions.
