| Abstract: |
Scattering of the solar limb-darkened radiation field on atoms and molecules
produces linearly polarized spectrum of the Sun (Second Solar Spectrum).
Partial frequency redistribution (PFR) plays a fundamental role in shaping
the wings of linearly polarized profiles of strong resonance lines.
Here we present the effects of the angle-dependent (AD) PFR
on resonance polarization both in the presence and absence of magnetic fields.
We consider scattering on a two-level atom with unpolarized lower level, and
a one-dimensional isothermal atmosphere. |
