Abstract
The variation of the polarization profiles, the Stokes parameters Q and U, and the angle defining the plane of polarization along the intensity equator and along the mirror meridian, on which μ = μ0, in a Rayleigh scattering atmosphere is studied. It is found that these variations are more complex than thought hitherto, particularly at large phase angles.
