Atomic Scattering Polarization. Observations, Modeling, Predictions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2015
Abstract
This paper highlights very recent advances concerning the identification of new mechanisms that introduce polarization in spectral lines, which turn out to be key for understanding some of the most enigmatic scattering polarization signals of the solar visible spectrum. We also show a radiative transfer prediction on the scattering polarization pattern across the Mg iih & k lines, whose radiation can only be observed from space.
