A more realistic polarized source

Logged on 07/07/2009 02:10:00 PM

As a radio astronomer one is unlikely to find a source which exhibits 100% polarization (as in SSSC6 and SSSC7) so here we create a simulated Measurement Set which corresponds to a source with more realistic polarization properties.

Examining the LSM file below shows the following values:

I = 14.65 Q = 0.56 U = 1.26 V = 0.0

which are the Stokes values for the well known radio source 3C286.
