Scientific paper

The impact on the spectra of magnetic white dwarfs of magneto-optical effects of magnetic birefringence arising from free electrons in the continuum is investigated using model calculations. Linear polarization is the most strongly affected: in the continuum its magnitude is reduced and its sign often reversed, and in the lines its magnitude is greatly reduced. In the outer components of lines, the maximum values of circular polarization are reduced and their positions shifted inwards. Line depths are increased, especially the central component of a Zeeman triplet.
