... All the parameters provided in this database have been obtained using the the MIRIAD ( Sault et al. 1995 ) task MBSPECT . MBSPECT makes a spectrum of the velocity (or frequency) axis of a cube. The spectrum is beam-weighted, over the width specified, for the other image axes. ... Robust parameters are calculated by using an algorithm which minimises the mean absolute deviation of the flux-weighted velocities. mask= This specifies the x-axis ranges to be excluded from any continuum fit. ...

... Fitting the observed dependence includes calculations of the polarization cross-sections averaged over particles orientation and size distribution, their normalization and the comparison of obtained dependencies with Serkowski's curve representing observational data for a chosen star. ...
