Local line profiles centered on the sodium D2 line at different limb angles for a solar-like star that rotates as a solid body at 20 km s-1. The representation illustrates velocity variations from the disk center to the eastern limb for a star rotating from west to east. As the pixels approach the limb, the flux decreases due to limb darkening, while the projected velocity component increases.
