Domain-specific

• Chandrasekhar Polarization
  • Chandrasekhar's 1946 calculation predicted a rise from zero at disk center to about eleven percent at the limb for the ideal pure-scattering atmosphere.

    This sourceThe primary paper formulates separate transfer equations for orthogonal polarization intensities in a semi-infinite plane-parallel Thomson-scattering atmosphere and predicts zero polarization at disk center and about eleven percent at the limb.
