Domain-specific

• Chandrasekhar Polarization
  • Hiltner's 1949 discovery was historically connected to searches for stellar polarization but has a different location, mechanism, wavelength law, and inference target.

    This sourceThis primary observation supports the interstellar-polarization boundary, not the photospheric mechanism.
