Polarization of Astronomical Maser Radiation. IV. Circular Polarization Profiles
ProÐle comparison of the Stokes parameters V and I is a powerful tool for maser data analysis, which provides the Ðrst direct methods for unambiguous determination of (1) the maser saturation stage, (2) the ampliÐcation optical depth and intrinsic Doppler width of unsaturated masers, and (3) the comparative magnitudes of Zeeman splitting and Doppler line width. Circular polarization recently de...
متن کاملPolarization of Astronomical Maser Radiation. III. Arbitrary Zeeman Splitting and Anisotropic Pumping
General solutions of the maser polarization problem are presented for arbitrary absorption coefficients. The results are used to calculate polarization for masers permeated by magnetic fields with arbitrary values of xB , the ratio of Zeeman splitting to Doppler linewidth, and for anisotropic (m-dependent) pumping. In the case of magnetic fields, one solution describes the polarization for over...
متن کاملNon-Zeeman Circular Polarization of Molecular Maser Spectral Lines
We apply the anisotropic resonant scattering model developed to explain the presence of non-Zeeman circular polarization signals recently detected in the CO (J = 2 → 1) and (J = 1 → 0) transitions in molecular clouds to Stokes V spectra of SiO v = 1 and v = 2, (J = 1 → 0) masers commonly observed in evolved stars. It is found that the observed antisymmetric “S” and symmetric “∪” or “∩” shaped s...
متن کاملSpectra of Maser Radiation from a Turbulent, Circumnuclear Accretion Disk. III. Circular polarization
Calculations are performed for the circular polarization of maser radiation from a turbulent, Keplerian disk that is intended to represent the sub-parsec disk at the nucleus of the galaxy NGC4258. The polarization in the calculations is a result of the Zeeman effect in the regime in which the Zeeman splitting is much less than the spectral linebreadth. Plausible configurations for turbulent mag...
متن کاملCircular Polarization in Pulsar Integrated Profiles: Updates
We update the systematic studies of circular polarization in integrated pulse profiles by Han et al (1998). Data of circular polarization profiles are compiled. Sense reversals can occur in core or cone components, or near the intersection between components. The correlation between the sense of circular polarization and the sense of position angle variation for conal-double pulsars is confirme...
