We have analyzed the Hanle effect on the closed Fg=3⃗Fe=4 D2-line transition of 85Rb. Exciting the rubidium atoms by circularly polarized laser light, and scanning an applied transverse magnetic field, a bright resonance Hanle signal is obtained at different values of an applied longitudinal magnetic field. We report experimental and numerical evidence of this bright resonance.
