1) When N is sufficiently large P will be a stable vector that does not show big, random fluctuations with time. 2) In the case of a small number of large clumps, P is again a stable quantity as such clumps will shield the photosphere at all epochs Brownian Motion Pf=N1/2p0fi These vectors/clumps moved outside the surface of the photosphere at a later epoch.

Each velocity layer intercepts ~16 clumps if the volume in front of the photosphere is packed with clumps of diameter of 5,000 km/sec Peak blueshifted by 4000 km/sec The volume in front of the photosphere is big enough to hold about 48 clumps of diameter ~5,000 km/sec The radial extension of typical clumps has to be ~ 5,000 km/sec to explain the observed polarization profile. In velocity space, the radial elongation of the clumps determines the correlation of the observed polarization at different velocities. 10,000 km/sec 15,000 km/sec 20,000 km/sec

Summary • High velocity component is always asymmetric • The normal velocity component is symmetric, • to a level below 5% • 3. The chemical burning is different for HV and NV events • The HV probably burned C to oxygen • The NV did not burn C at the outer layer • (this is why C is found only in some NV) • 4. The core is likely asymmetric
