Polarization of light from fast-rotating Wolf–Rayet stars: Monte Carlo simulations compared to the analytical formula

Open Access

Fig. 6

Comparison of polarization from the multiple-scattering model (MCRT simulation, full blue lines) and single-scattering (Sing+Atten) model with attenuation (dash-dotted black lines) as a function of inclination for WR93 (left panel) and WR102 (right panel). The blue and black lines are labeled with the mass-loss rates in units of $M_{⊙} {y r}^{- 1}$ $M_{\odot} \mathrm{yr}^{-1}$ .
