Resonance Line Polarization in Spherically Symmetric Moving Media: a Parametric Study [SSA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2001.06201


In the present paper we consider the problem of resonance line polarization formed in the spherically symmetric expanding atmospheres. For the solution of the concerned polarized transfer equation we use the comoving frame formulation, and apply the Accelerated Lambda Iteration (ALI) method. We restrict ourselves to the non-relativistic regime of velocities wherein mainly Doppler shift effects are significant. For our studies, we consider the scattering on a two-level atom, including the effects of partial frequency redistribution (PFR). We present the dependence of linearly polarized profiles on different atmospheric and atomic parameters.
