On the asymmetry in Fraunhofer-line profiles
Abstract
Two faint satellite features have been detected, in the red and violet wings of the profiles of several unblended Fraunhofer lines. It is suggested that these satellites may represent evidence for the chromospheric rain phenomenon, in which condensing clouds are precipitated from the chromosphere.
