Detailed study using Radiation-MHD simulation for Hα line formation in solar chromosphere. Analysis of statistical equilibrium and non-equilibrium ionization of hydrogen. Results show correlation between Hα core intensity and formation height. Simulation closely matches observations without microturbulence. Key aspects include 3D radiative transfer, gas temperature measure via line-core width, and fibril-like structure. Utilizes RADYN code and equations for conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. Includes ionization balance and equation of state.

abstruct • Radiation-MHD simulation + 3D non-LTE radiative transfer computation => Hα • Statistical equilibrium • Complete frequency redistribution • Non-equilibrium ionization of hydrogen • We find • 3D radiative transfer is essential in modeling Hα • Hα opacity is mainly sensitive mass density • Hα core intensity is correlated with the average formation height • The line-core width is a measure of the gas temperature • Fibril-like structure • Formation height • Simulated results are very similar to observed one without the need for additional microturbilance
