| Abstract: |
Sensitive measurements of the linearly polarized spectra of stars can
be used to deduce geometric properties of their otherwise unresolved
circumstellar environments. This paper describes some of the evidence for optical pumping and absorptive linear
polarization and explores some
interesting applications of linear spectropolarimetry for obtaining
spatial information from imbedded stars. |
