Null value: 0 -> no rotation measure Tasks: SPLIT....Converts multi-source to single-source UV files with calibration. It ROTMEAS is not zero, the output is forced to IQUV or RR/LL/RL/LR Stokes and Q and U are corrected by the rotation measure into the values they would have at 0 wavelength. Qout = Uin sin(2D) + Qin cos(2D) Uout = Uin cos(2D) - Qin sin(2D) RLout = RLin (cos(2D) - j sin(2D)) LRout = LRin (cos(2D) + j sin(2D)) where j = sqrt(-1) and D = ROTMEAS * Lambda^2. ----------------------------------------------------------------
