Normalized cumulative polarization in terms of distance from the star. The figure applies when the polarization calculation is seperable (see text). In the case γ = 1, references lines show that half of the polarization will be determined within half a stellar radius above the atmosphere; 90% will be determined between one and 5.6 stellar radii.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
