VLBI Polarization Calibration
This page contains documents, written by current and former members of
our research group, pertaining to the calibration of polarization
observations using Very Long Baseline Interferometry.
- Scott Aaron's EVN memo on linear polarization calibration is available
in html and postsript
formats. It is an excellent supplement to the AIPS cookbook and is useful
when calibrating EVN or VLBA data.
- We have recently pioneered the observation of circular polarization from
Active Galactic Nuclei using the VLBA. A paper describing our results
and calibration techniques has recently been accepted for publication
in the Astronomical Journal. A pre-print in compressed
postscript is available
here.
