Observations of the Linear Polarization in the Hβ Emission Feature of γ Cas

Linear polarization measurements have been made across the Hβ emission line of γ Cas. The results show a significant reduction in the degree of polarization at the emission peak relative to the values in the wings and the continuum. This depolarization effect in the emission feature exhibits variabi...

Zusammenfassung:Linear polarization measurements have been made across the Hβ emission line of γ Cas. The results show a significant reduction in the degree of polarization at the emission peak relative to the values in the wings and the continuum. This depolarization effect in the emission feature exhibits variability.
