Polarization singularities in isotropic random vector waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Following Nye & Hajnal, we explore the geometry of complex vector waves by regarding them as a field of polarization ellipses. Singularities of this field are the C lines and L lines, where the polarization is purely circular and purely linear ...

Circular Polarization in Scintillating Sources [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 2001
We discuss the detection of variable circular polarization (CP) in several scintillating radio sources: PKS 1519-273, PKS 0405-385 and Sgr A*. In all cases the CP is variable, with the fractional variability in the CP greatly exceeding that in total intensity.

THE CIRCULAR POLARIZATION OF SAGITTARIUS A* AT SUBMILLIMETER WAVELENGTHS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2012
We report the first detections of circularly polarized emission at submillimeter wavelengths from the compact radio source and supermassive black hole candidate Sgr A* at a level of 1.2\pm0.3% at 1.3 mm wavelength (230 GHz) and 1.6\pm0.3% at 860 microns (345 GHz) with the same handedness as observed at lower frequencies (1.4-15 GHz).

Fusion of polarimetric channel information of PALSAR data for land cover classification

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2014
Fully polarimetric radars are capable of preserving detailed information about the targets because of the amplitude and phase information they contain which helps in distinguishing different scattering mechanisms.
