... Polarization observations require three or more images with the polarizing filter spanning a large range of position angles on the sky. For WFPC2, this may be achieved by using different quads of the polarizing filter (each quad being oriented 45 degrees to the others), by rotating the spacecraft though different angles, or by a combination of these methods. Rotating the spacecraft through use of ORIENTs provides the simplest calibration, as a single polaroid can be used for all images. ...

Next: Reducing 3-mm ATCA observations Up: Reducing 12-mm ATCA observations Previous: Loading data into Miriad: . For 12-mm data, calibration is essentially identical to the centimetre bands. Primary flux calibration can be done using gpboot and observations of 1934-638, in much the same fashion as at the lower frequencies. 1934-638 is about 1 Jy at 12-mm wavelengths: the Miriad calibration software contains a built-in model of 1934-638's change of flux density with frequency. ...
