Anisotropic photofragmentation of SF{sub 6} following F 1s excitation is ascribed to the localization of the valence holes created as a result of the Auger decay of the F 1s core hole, itself polarized by excitation with linearly polarized light. Theoretical calculations based on the localized core-hole model are in reasonable agreement with the observation. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
