Erratum: Spectral Lines for Polarization Measurements of the Coronal Magnetic Field. II. Consistent Treatment of the Stokes Vector for Magnetic-dipole Transitions (Astrophysical Journal (1999) 522 (524) DOI: 10.1086/307629)

The expressions 37(b) and 38(b) for the coefficient EJJ0 given in the published article are wrong. The general Equation 36(c), however, is correct. In deriving from it the special cases represented by Equations 37(b) and 38(b), a factor 1/4 was accidentally dropped from the second addendum within the square bracket in both equations. We are grateful to Gabriel Dima and Tom Schad for pointing this out (see also Dima & Schad 2020). Additionally, in Equation 37(b), the (2J + 1) factor in the denominator of that second addendum should have been (2J - 1) instead. Hence, after some straightforward algebraic simplifications, the correct Equations 37(b) and 38(b) become the following, (Eqauation Presented) The authors are grateful to G. Dima for internally reviewing this erratum, and for running various checks on the proposed algebraic formulas.
