Nonazimuthal linear polarization in protoplanetary disks
Nonazimuthal linear polarization in protoplanetary disks
Several studies discussing imaging polarimetry observations of protoplanetary disks use the so-called radial Stokes parameters Qφ and Uφ to discuss the results. This approach has the advantage of providing a direct measure of the noise in the polarized images under the assumption that the polarization is only azimuthal, i.e., perpendicular …
