Arecibo Upgrade Notes INSTRUMENTAL POLARIZATION : POLARIZATION ISOLATION ERRORS IN STOKES PARAMETERS Jim Cordes Joe Lazio 22 May 1996 Summary The purpose of this memo is to: (1) demonstrate how polarization isolation is related to errors in Stokes parameters ; (2) estimate a tolerable level of errors in Stokes parameters due to amplitude and ... However, the errors in Stokes parameters are not so small: Eq. 4 indicates that the polarized flux is in error by ffi ъ ё 22%. ...

... Abstract Determine the set of osculating conic orbital elements that corresponds to the state (position, velocity) of a body at some epoch. ... In general, the elements found by this routine can have two kinds of problems: - The elements are not accurate but still represent the input state accurately. ... One recommended "sanity check" on the outputs is to supply them to the CSPICE routine conics_c and compare the resulting state vector with the one supplied to this routine. ...
