generally very dim
(especially wort a star's brightness), so we encounter

c) The slutpurt ofthe spectrum is generated by free-free emission

Free-free emission is generated by e-ion interaction, so the emission comes

from the ionized wind

a). The process responsible is
Faraday rotation. In an anisotropic magnetic plasma propagation
the speed ofthe waves depends on their
polarization.
For a
linearly polarized wave, the angle of its
polarization vector will be changed, which is
referred to as
Faraday rotation
