The 15 pages that link to Doppler broadening, each with the reason it gives.

• Molecular spectroscopyRelated: Molecular motion spreads spectral lines, especially in gases.

• Atomic spectroscopyRelated: Thermal motion spreads atomic lines around their characteristic frequencies.

• Maxwell–Boltzmann distributionRelated: The distribution predicts the thermal spread of line-of-sight particle velocities.

• Hydrogen spectral seriesRelated: Hydrogen line widths can reveal the temperatures and velocities of emitting gas.

• Lyman-alpha forestRelated: Thermal motions in hydrogen gas contribute to each forest line’s width.

• Spectral resolutionRelated: Physical line broadening can mask the instrumental resolution being measured.

• Stellar rotationRelated: Opposite stellar limbs shift absorption lines in opposite directions, revealing projected spin speed.

• Spectral line broadeningRelated: Thermal motion and bulk flows shift photon frequencies, spreading the observed line.

• Maxwell–Boltzmann statisticsRelated: Classical thermal speeds determine the width of lines in many dilute gases.

• VegaRelated: Vega’s pole-on view makes its projected rotational line broadening deceptively small.

• Rotational spectroscopyRelated: Molecular motion can broaden rotational lines and limit frequency precision.

• AltairRelated: Rotation broadens Altair's spectral lines as opposite limbs move toward and away from Earth.

• Broad-line regionRelated: Large gas velocities spread emission across broad wavelengths.

• Gas laserRelated: Thermal motion of gas particles broadens the frequencies a gas laser can amplify.
