Linear Polarization and Magnetic Fields in Cool Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Observations and theoretical models of broadband linear polarization (BLP) in cool stars are discussed. Two effects, 1) differential saturation in magnetically sensitive absorption lines and, 2) Rayleigh and Thomson scattering are considered as the possible causes of the BLP. Results of theoretical models, and comparisons with observations are summarized.
