Description of anomalous Zeeman patterns in stellar astrophysics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 February 2013
Abstract
The influence of a magnetic field on the broadening of spectral lines and transition arrays in complex spectra is investigated. The anomalous absorption or emission Zeeman pattern is a superposition of many profiles with different relative strengths, shifts, widths, asymmetries and sharpnesses. The σ and π profiles can be described statistically, using the moments of the Zeeman components. We present two statistical modellings: the first one provides a diagnostic of the magnetic field and the second one can be used to include the effect of a magnetic field on simulated atomic spectra in an approximate way.
