Get the polarization representation for the flux of the specified component
Synopsis
getfluxpol(which)
Description
The getfluxunit function returns the polarization representation
of the flux of the specified component. The actual values are
obtained using the
getfluxvalue
function.
Arguments
which
An index specifying which component
Allowed:
An integer between 1 and the list length
Default:
no default
Returns
A string containing either ``Stokes'', ``linear'' or
``circular''. If ``Stokes'' is returned, then the flux
values are the [I,Q,U,V] components of the
polarization and are always real. For ``linear and
``circular'' the values returned are complex.
If the value is
``linear'' then the values returned are the
[XX,XY,YX,YY] components of the polarization.
The parrallactic angle is assumed to
be zero in this case. If the value is ``circular'' then
the values returned are the [RR,RL,LR,LL]
components of the polarization.
See the example for the
getfluxvalue function.
