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.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
