The wavelength dependence of linear and circular polarized radiation from the magnetic white dwarf Grw+7008247

Creators

Description

The wavelength dependence of linear polarization from the magnetic white dwarf Grw + is investigated. The gray-body magnetoemissive linear polarization is corrected for radiative transfer by the use of a model white-dwarf atmosphere. The wavelength dependence found by this method does not fit the wavelength dependence of the observed linear polarization. Also the wavelength dependence of the circular polarization from Grw + is reexamined in the light of new observations. Subject headings: magnetic stars - polarization - stars, individual - white dwarf stars
