Raman-Scattering Wings of Hα in Symbiotic Stars
Raman-Scattering Wings of Hα in Symbiotic Stars
Nussbaumer and colleagues proposed that broad Hα wings can be formed through Raman scattering of Lyβ photons, and in this Letter we argue that the Hα wings prevalently seen in symbiotic stars may indeed be formed in this way. Assuming a flat incident UV radiation around Lyβ, we generate template …
