Polarization from Rapidly Rotating Massive Stars
J. Patrick Harrington, Richard Ignace, Kenneth G. Gayley
Stellar rotation has long been recognized as important to the evolution of stars, by virtue of the chemical mixing it can induce and how it interacts with binary mass transfer. Bin…

The Second Stellar Spectrum: Rotating hot massive star linear spectropolarimetry with the Ohman Effect
J. Patrick Harrington, R. Ignace, K. G. Gayley +1
To understand better the polarized radiative transfer near the surface of rotating massive stars that remain nearly spherically symmetric, we use plane-parallel stellar atmosphere…
