冷演化恒星结构包层的偏振

Polarization from the Structured Envelopes of Cool Evolved Stars

R Ignace, G D Henson, J Carson

摘要:

我们提出了初步的计算电子散射极化模型的结构冷星信封。我们注意到,来自未分辨源的净偏振可以由来自具有亮度变化的光球的非球形散射包络和/或各向异性照明引起。产生的偏振非常小(百分之几);然而,在类似的考虑下,来自分子不透明性的瑞利散射和/或来自更扩展的包络的尘埃散射可能产生更高的偏振。

英文摘要:

We present preliminary calculations of electron scattering polarizations from models of structured cool star envelopes. We note that net polarizations from unresolved sources can result from non-spherical scattering envelopes and/or anisotropic illumination from a photosphere that has brightness variations. The resultant polarizations are quite small (hundreths of a percent); however, Rayleigh scattering from molecular opacity and/or dust scattering from the more extended envelope under similar considerations may produce higher polarizations.
