We proposed a new method -- "Pacman" -- to calculate Faraday rotation measure (RM) maps from multi-frequency polarisation angle data (Dolag et al.) in order to avoid the so-called n-pi ambiguity. Here, we apply our "Pacman" algorithm to two…

Measurements of the polarization of radio emission are subject to a number of depolarization effects such as bandwidth depolarization, which is caused by the averaging effect of a finite channel bandwidth combined with the…

Faraday rotation describes the change of the linear polarization angle of radiation passing through a magnetized plasma and it is quantified by the rotation measure (RM), which is related to the line-of-sight (LOS) magnetic field component…

This study evaluates three reconstruction methods for sparse climate data: the simple inverse distance weighting (IDW), the statistically grounded ordinary kriging (OK), and the advanced implicit neural representation model (MMGN…
