Abstract
Molecular-photoelectron angular distributions are shown to depend qualitatively on symmetry-breaking hole localization during inner-shell photoionization. This is illustrated by comparing localized and delocalized calculations of the asymmetry parameter for -shell photoionization of in the vicinity of the -type shape resonance at approximately 10 eV above threshold. Comparison with the isoelectronic CO shows that the -shell for , in the localized treatment, resembles that for the shell of oxygen rather than carbon in CO.
