Polarized hydrogen emission lines in Mira stars: a mystery behind the shock
We present a full spectropolarimetric study (in the Stokes parameters I, Q, U and V) on omicron Ceti (the prototype of Mira stars), and focus on the strong polarization detected in Balmer emission lines. This study is made with observations from NARVAL instrument at TBL (Telescope Bernard Lyot) in Pic du Midi Observatory, France.
