Hα line profile in velocity space. The velocity zero is defined at the average redshift of the narrow emission lines. (a) Comparison of the total (solid line) and polarized flux (dot-dashed line) profiles. The polarized flux spectrum has been scaled by the inverse of the average polarization. (b) Total flux profile (solid) with the fitted Gaussian components R1 and R2 (dashed lines).
