Polarized resonance line transfer in a spherically symmetric medium with angle-dependent partial frequency redistribution
In a stellar atmosphere, the resonance line polarization arises from scattering of limb-darkened radiation field by atoms. This spectral line polarization gets affected particularly in the wings, when the line photons suffer scattering on electrons in thermal motion. Scattering of line photons by atoms and electrons are, respectively, described by
Sampoorna, M. et al.
