G'day Harry,
There is another type of red shift that is non doppler related.
Bathochromatic shift, which might only be seen in connection with molecular spectra and not atomic spectra, could be an alternative nevertheless.
The conditions that exist in Stella bodies are way beyond the laboratory environment, where the polarising forces here are mere shadows.
It might well be that gravitational and electromagnetic influences raised to the hellishly high levels in stars might be able to shift atomic spectra in ways that we can not duplicate, in ways hitherto only observed in molecular spectra.
Now I'll go check out the link you just posted.
Cheers,
Doug
