122 Attach the Imagepol tool to a test image file
124 Description:
128 This function can be used to generate a test image and then
129 attach the Imagepol tool to it.
131 The test image is 4-dimensional (RA, DEC, Stokes and Frequency). The
132 Stokes axis holds I,Q,U and V. The source is just a constant I (if you
133 don't add noise all spatial pixels will be identical) and V. Q and U
134 vary with frequency according to the specified Rotation Measure
135 components (no attempt to handle bandwidth smearing within channels is
136 made). The actual values of I,Q,U, and V are chosen arbitrarily
137 otherwise (could be added as arguments if desired).
139 You can use this image, in particular, to explore the Rotation Measure
140 algorithms in functions rotationmeasure and
141 fourierrotationmeasure.
143 If you don't specify the Rotation Measure, then it is chosen for you so
144 that there is no position angle ambiguity between adjacent channels
145 (the value will be sent to the Logger).
147 The noise added to the image is specified as a fraction of the total
148 intensity (constant). Gaussian noise with a standard deviation of
149 {stfaf sigma * $I_{max}$} is then added to the image.
151 Input Parameters:
152 outfile Output image file name
153 rm Rotation Measure (rad/m/m). Default is auto no-ambiguity determine.
154 pa0 Position angle (degrees) at zero wavelength

274 Linear depolarization ratio
276 Description:
280 This function returns the linear
281 depolarization ratio computed from two frequencies; this is the ratio of
282 the fractional linear polarization at the two frequencies. Generally
283 this is done when you have generated two images, each at a different frequency
284 (continuum work). Thus if the fractional linear polarization images are
285 $m_{nu 1}$ and $m_{nu 2}$ then the depolarization ratio is
286 $m_{nu 1}/ m_{nu 2}$.
288 This function operates with two images; the first (at frequency $nu 1$)
289 is the one attached to your Imagepol tool. The second (at
290 frequency $nu 2$) is supplied via the argument {stfaf infile}, which
291 is a String holding the name of the
292 imagefile.
294 In generating the depolarization ratio, you may optionally debias the
295 linearly polarized intensity. This requires the standard deviation of
296 the thermal noise. You can either supply it if you know it, or it will
297 be worked out for you with outliers from the mean clipped at the
298 specified level.
300 You can get the depolarization ratio error image with function
301 sigmadepolratio.

415 Find Rotation Measure (Fourier approach)
417 Description:
421 This function will only work if
422 you attach the Imagepol tool (using open) to an image containing
423 Stokes Q and U, and a regular frequency axis. It Fourier transforms
424 the complex linear polarization (Q+iU) over the spectral axis to the
425 rotation measure axis. Thus, if your input image contained
426 RA/DEC/Stokes/Frequency, the output image would be
427 RA/DEC/RotationMeasure. The Rotation Measure axis has as many pixels
428 as the spectral axis.
430 This method enables you to see the polarization as a function of
431 Rotation Meausure. Its main use is when searching for large RMs. See
432 Killeen, Fluke, Zhao and Ekers (1999, preprint) for a description of
433 this method (or http://www.atnf.csiro.au/verb+~+nkilleen/rm.ps) and its
434 advantages over the traditional method
435 (rotationmeasure) of
436 extracting the Rotation Measure.
438 Although you can write out the complex polarization image with the
439 argument {stfaf complex}, you can't do much with it because Image
440 tools cannot handle complex images. Hence you can
441 also write out the complex linear polarization image in any or all of
442 the other forms.
444 The argument {stfaf zerolag0} allows you to force the zero lag (or
445 central bin) of the Rotation Measure spectrum to zero (effectively by
446 subtracting the mean of Q and U from the Q and U images). This may
447 avoid Gibbs phenomena from any strong low Rotation Measure signal which
448 would normally fall into the central bin.
450 Input Parameters:
451 complex Output complex linear polarization image file name. Default is unset.
452 amp Output linear polarization amplitude image file name Default is unset.
453 pa Output linear polarization position angle (degrees) image file name Default is unset.
454 real Output linear polarization real image file name Default is unset.

574 Linearly polarized intensity
576 Description:
579 This application returns the linearly polarized intensity; $sqrt{(Q^2+U^2)}$.
581 The linearly polarized intensity may optionally be debiased (if debias=True).
582 This requires an estimate of the thermal noise level (sigma). The resulting
583 image will be computed using
585 $sqrt{(Q^2 + U^2 - sigma^2)}$
587 If the specified value of sigma is positive, that is the value that will
588 be used for debiasing. If it is not, the value used for sigma is computed
589 using the following algorithm:
591 1. First, a stokes plane(s) is chosen on which the sigma computation is performed.
592 If the V plane exists, that is used to compute sigma. If not, then the value of
593 sigma is computed to be the average of the sigma values of the Q and U planes.
595 2. For the relevant plane(s), the sigma value is computed for unmasked pixel values
596 which lie within +/- (clip * stddev) values of the mean for that plane, where the mean
597 and stddev (the standard deviation) are computed by using all unmasked pixel values
598 in the relevant plane. In this way, outliers (eg pixels due to possible
599 astronomical signals) are excluded in the computation of sigma.
601 In the output image, pixels for which the expression inside the square root is
602 negative are masked, and their values are set to zero.
604 If a region and/or mask is specified, debias=True and sigma is not positive so
605 that the value of sigma is determined using the algorithm above, the region and mask
606 are applied first to the plane(s) from which the value of sigma is determined and
607 then sigma is computed.

733 Summary:
734 Open a new image with this imagepol tool
736 Description:
740 Before polarimetric analysis can commence, an imagefile must be
741 attached to the imagepol tool using the open function. Also, use this
742 function when you are finished analyzing the current imagefile and
743 want to attach to another one. This function detaches the imagetool
744 from the current imagefile, if one exists, and reattaches it (opens)
745 to the new imagefile.
747 The input image file may be in native casa, fits, or Miriad
748 format. Look htmlref{here}{IMAGES:FOREIGNIMAGES} for more
749 information on foreign images.
751 The input image must have a Stokes axis. The exact collection of
752 Stokes that the image has, determines what the Imagepol tool can
753 compute. Stokes I, Q, U, and V refer to total intensity, two
754 components of linear polarization, and circular polatization,
755 respectively. Therefore, if you ask for linear polarization and the
756 image only has Stokes I and V, you will get an error.
758 The input image may contain data at many frequencies. For example, the
759 image may be a 4D image with axes RA, DEC, Stokes and Frequency (order
760 not important) where the Frequency axis is regularly sampled. However,
761 the image may also contain many frequencies at irregular
762 intervals. Such an image may be created with the Image tool function
763 imageconcat. It enables you to concatenate images along an axis, and
764 it allows irregular coordinate values along that axis.

854 Summary:
855 Find Rotation Measure (traditional approach)
857 Description:
861 This function generates the rotation
862 measure image from a collection of different frequencies. It will only
863 work if the Imagepol tool is attached to an image containing
864 Stokes $Q$ and $U$, and a frequency axis (regular or irregular) with at
865 least 2 pixels. It will work out the position angle images for you.
867 See also the fourierrotationmeasure
868 function for a new Fourier-based approach.
870 Rotation Measure algorithms that work robustly are not common. The main
871 problem is in trying to account for the $n- pi$ ambiguity (see Leahy et
872 al, Astronomy & Astrophysics, 156, 234 or Killeen et al;
873 http://www.atnf.csiro.au/verb+~+nkilleen/rm.ps).
875 The algorithm that this function uses is that of Leahy et al. (see Appendix A.1). But as in all
876 these algorithms, the basic process is that for each spatial pixel, a
877 vector of position angles (i.e. at the different frequencies) is fit to
878 determine the rotation measure and the position angle at zero wavelength
879 (and their errors). An image containing
880 the number of $n- pi$ turns that were added to the data
881 at each spatial pixel and for which the best fit was found can be written.
882 The reduced chi-squared image for the fits can also be written.
884 Note that no assessment of curvature (i.e. deviation
885 from the simple linear position angle - $lambda^2$ functional form)
886 is made.
888 Any combination of output images can be written.
890 The argument {stfaf sigma} gives the thermal noise in Stokes Q and U.
891 By default it is determined automatically using the image data. But if it proves
892 to be inaccurate (maybe not many signal-free pixels), it may be specified.
893 This is used for calculating the error in the
894 position angles (propagation of Gaussian errors).
896 The argument {stfaf maxpaerr} specifies the maximum allowable error in
897 the position angle that is acceptable. The default is an infinite
898 value. From the standard propagation of errors, the error in the
899 linearly polarized position angle is determined from the Stokes $Q$ and
900 $U$ images (at each spatial pixel for each frequency). At each spatial
901 pixel we do a fit to the position angle vector (i.e. at the different
902 frequencies) to determine the rotation measure. If the position angle
903 error for any pixel in the vector exceeds the specified value, it is
904 dropped from the fit. The process generates an error for the
905 fit and this is used to compute the errors in the output
906 images.
908 Note that {stfaf maxpaerr} is {it not} used to specify that any pixel
909 for which the output position angle error exceeds this value
910 should be masked out.
912 The argument {stfaf rmfg} is used to specify a foreground RM value. For
913 example, you may know the mean RM in some direction out of the Galaxy,
914 then including this can aid the algorithm by reducing ambiguity.
916 The argument {stfaf rmmax} specifies the maximum absolute RM that
917 should be solved for. This quite an important parameter. If you leave
918 it at the default, zero, no ambiguity handling will be
919 used. So some apriori information should be supplied; this
920 is the basic problem with rotation measure algorithms.
922 Input Parameters:
923 rm Output Rotation Measure image file name. Default is unset.
924 rmerr Output Rotation Measure error image file name. Default is unset.
925 pa0 Output position angle (degrees) at zero wavelength image file name. Default is unset.
926 pa0err Output position angle (degrees) at zero wavelength error image file name. Default is unset.
927 nturns Output number of turns image file name. Default is unset.
928 chisq Output reduced chi squared image file name. Default is unset.
929 sigma Estimate of the thermal noise. Default is auto estimate.
930 rmfg Foreground Rotation Measure (rad/m/m) to subtract.
931 rmmax Maximum rotation measure (rad/m/m) to solve for. IMPORTANT TO SPECIFY.
932 maxpaerr Maximum input position angle error (degrees) to allow
933 plotter Name of plotter. Default is none.
934 nx Number of plots in x direction
935 ny Number of plots in y direction

940 #

950 Say we have 5 images, each with axes RA, DEC, Stokes, and Frequency in
951 that order. We use the Image tool to concatenate these images
952 along the frequency axis - you have ordered them in increasing or
953 decreasing frequency order. We then compute the Rotation Measure
954 and Rotation Measure error images with the traditional method and
955 write them out to disk.

1010 Description:
1014 This function returns the error
1015 in the linear depolarization ratio computed from two frequencies; this
1016 is the ratio of the fractional linear polarization at the two
1017 frequencies. Generally this is done when you have generated two
1018 images, each at a different frequency (continuum work). Thus if the
1019 fractional linear polarzation images are $m1$ and $m2$ then the
1020 depolarization ratio is $m1/m2$.
1022 This function operates with two images; the first is attached
1023 to the Imagepol tool. The second is supplied via the
1024 argument {stfaf infile}, which is a String
1025 holding the name of the imagefile.
1027 In generating the depolarization ratio, and hence its error, you may
1028 optionally debias the linearly polarized intensity. This requires the
1029 standard deviation of the thermal noise. You can either supply it if
1030 you know it, or it will be worked out for you with outliers from the
1031 mean clipped at the specified level.
1033 You can get the depolarization ratio image with function
1034 depolratio.

1714 Summary:
1715 Total polarized intensity
1717 Description:
1720 This application returns the total polarized intensity;
1722 $sqrt{( Q^2+ U^2+ V^2)}$.
1724 If the image contains only Q and U, or only V, then just
1725 those components contribute to the total polarized intensity.
1727 The polarized intensity may optionally be debiased (if debias=True).
1728 This requires an estimate of the thermal noise level (sigma).
1729 The resulting image will be computed using
1731 $sqrt{(Q^2 + U^2 + V^2 - sigma^2)}$
1733 If the specified value of sigma is positive, that is the value that will
1734 be used for debiasing. If it is not, the value used for sigma is computed
1735 using the following algorithm:
1737 1. First, a stokes plane(s) is chosen on which the sigma computation is performed.
1738 If the V plane exists, that is used to compute sigma. If not, then the value of
1739 sigma is computed to be the average of the sigma values of the Q and U planes.
1741 2. For the relevant plane(s), the sigma value is computed for unmasked pixel values
1742 which lie within +/- (clip * stddev) values of the mean for that plane, where the mean
1743 and stddev (the standard deviation) are computed by using all unmasked pixel values
1744 in the relevant plane. In this way, outliers (eg pixels due to possible
1745 astronomical signals) are excluded in the computation of sigma.
1747 In the output image, pixels for which the expression inside the square root is
1748 negative are masked, and their values are set to zero.
1750 If a region and/or mask is specified, debias=True and sigma is not positive so
1751 that the value of sigma is determined using the algorithm above, the region and mask
1752 are applied first to the plane(s) from which the value of sigma is determined and
1753 then sigma is computed.
1755 Input Parameters:
1756 debias Debias the total polarized intensity ?
1757 clip Clip level for auto-sigma determination
1758 sigma Standard deviation of thermal noised. Default is auto determined.
1759 outfile Output image file name. Default is unset.
1760 region Region selection. Default is to use the full image.
1761 mask Mask to use. Default setting is none.
1762 stretch Stretch the mask if necessary and possible? Default value is false.
