We report on a detailed measurement of the enhanced absorption Hanle effect resonances in 85Rb. The effect was analysed with an experimental setup allowing for the control of each magnetic field component within 1 mG. The characterization deals with the dependence of resonances, observed under different magnetic field conditions, on the frequency, intensity and polarization of the exciting radiation field. An analytic model that precisely describes the resonance behaviour is discussed.
