Crosscorrelation Spectropolarimetry In Single-Dish Radio Astronomy

Astrophysics 2009-11-06 v1

Abstract

Modern digital correlators permit the simultaneous measurement of all four Stokes parameters using auto and crosscorrelation. We briefly outline the fundamental requirements and some practical details of performing such measurements and refer to two additional papers that provide overview and cover calibration issues in detail.
