Advanced Diagnostics for the Study of Linearly Polarized Emission. I. Derivation
Abstract Linearly polarized emission is described, in general, in terms of the Stokes parameters Q and U , from which the polarization intensity and polarization angle can be determined. Although the polarization intensity and polarization angle provide an intuitive description of the polarization, they are affected by the limitations of …
