This paper presents observations of the MgII h and k linesobtained with the UVSP instrument that flew aboard the SMM satellite.Both spatially averaged and resolved observations are comparedwith calculated profiles of the lines from standard, plane-parallelsolar models.The radiative transfer calculations presented take full account of partialfrequency redistribution and wavelength overlap of the h and k lines.A comparison between theoretical and observed wing profiles indicatesthat current one-dimensional models underestimate the temperature in themiddle photosphere.The cores of spatially resolved dark intra-network profiles are wellreproduced by the model calculations, while the spatially averagedprofiles have in general broader emission peaks, indicating that theadditional broadening is due to a contribution of magnetic network profiles.
