Scientific paper

In magnetic white dwarfs, the angle of linear polarization is observed in some stars to be roughly constant except for a change by 90° at a particular wavelength. One proposed explanation for this phenomenon, the presence of cyclotron absorption, is examined and rejected. Another explanation relying on shifted Balmer jumps is proposed, and applied to Grw +70°8247.
