Hanle Effect with Partial Frequency Redistribution
Abstract
The author investigates the Hanle effect on optically thick lines formed by multiple scattering of photons. In particular the importance of the correlation between the frequencies of the absorbed and reemitted photons at each scattering event (partial frequency redistribution) is outlined.
