Gaussian Spectral Line Profiles of Astrophysical Masers
W. D. Watson, A. P. Sarma, M. S. Singleton
Calculations are performed to demonstrate the deviations from Gaussian that occur in the spectral line profiles of a linear maser as a result of the amplification process. Near-Gau…
The Relationship Between the Circular Polarization and the Magnetic Field for Astrophysical Masers with Weak Zeeman Splitting
W. D. Watson, H. W. Wyld
The relationship between the magnetic field and the circular polarization of astrophysical maser radiation due to the Zeeman effect under idealized conditions is investigated when…
Spectra of Maser Radiation from a Turbulent, Circumnuclear Accretion Disk. III. Circular polarization
W. D. Watson, D. S. Wiebe
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…
Irregular Magnetic Fields in Interstellar Clouds and Variations in the Observed Circular Polarization of Spectral Lines
W. D. Watson, D. S. Wiebe, R. M. Crutcher
The strengths of magnetic fields in interstellar gas clouds are obtained through observations of the circular polarization of spectral line radiation. Irregularities in this magnet…
