STORE POLMODEL
CLIC\STORE POLMODEL alpha(I) alpha(p) RM [alpha(V)]
CLIC\STORE POLMODEL
Store source-polarization model coefficients in the headers of every ob-
servation in the current index. Select the intended calibrator scans
with FIND first. The usual writable input/output file setup for STORE
commands is required. Visibility data and reference I, Q, U, V values
are not changed.
The STOKES_SPIDX vector has the following meaning:
1 alpha(I): spectral index of total intensity I
2 alpha(p): spectral index of p = sqrt(Q**2+U**2)/I
3 RM: rotation measure in rad/m**2
4 alpha(V): spectral index of V, reserved for future use
Any supplied argument may be "=" to preserve that coefficient separately
in each observation. If alpha(I) is "=", both element 1 and scalar SPIDX
are preserved. An explicitly supplied alpha(I) updates both. If alpha(V)
is omitted, each observation's existing fourth element is preserved.
With no arguments, copy all four elements of the current STOKES_SPIDX
vector to every observation in the index, synchronizing scalar SPIDX
with its first element. Supplied coefficients must be finite numbers.
Storing a model does not enable its use; select SET STOKES LEAKAGE FRE-
QUENCY to activate source-polarization removal with frequency scaling.
See SET STOKES for the reference frequency and model equations.
For example:
STORE POLMODEL -0.5 0.2 100000
STORE POLMODEL = 0.2 100000 =
STORE POLMODEL
The second example preserves the stored I and V spectral indices while
updating alpha(p) and RM.
