The Zeeman Effect in the Sobolev Approximation II: Split Monopole Fields and the Heartbeat Stokes V Profile


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We calculate the circularly polarized Stokes V profile for emission lines, formed in hot-star winds threaded with a weak radial magnetic field. For simplicity, the field is treated as a split monopole under the assumptions that it has been radially combed by the wind, and rotation is not playing a central role. Invoking the weak-field approximation, we find that the V profile has a characteristic ``heartbeat shape exhibiting multiple sign
