The Impact of Angle-dependent Partial Frequency Redistribution on the Scattering Polarization of the Solar Na i D Lines
The long-standing paradox of the linear polarization signal of the Na i D _1 line was recently resolved by accounting for the atom’s hyperfine structure and the detailed spectral structure of the incident radiation field. That modeling relied on the simplifying angle-averaged (AA) approximation for...
