Rotation of Linear Polarization Plane and Circular Polarization from Cosmological Pseudo-Scalar Fields
We show that a time evolving pseudo-scalar field coupled to the electromagnetic tensor generates circular polarization and does not only rotate the plane of linear polarization. We compute analytically and numerically the propagation of the Stokes parameters from the last scattering surface for an oscillating and a monotonic decreasing pseudo-scalar field acting as dark matter. PACS numbers: CM...
متن کاملRadio Linear and Circular Polarization from M81*
We present results from archival Very Large Array (VLA) data and new VLA observations to investigate the long term behavior of the circular polarization of M81*, the nuclear radio source in the nearby galaxy M81. We also used the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association (BIMA) array to observe M81* at 86 and 230 GHz. M81* is unpolarized in the linear sense at a frequency as high as 86 GHz and sho...
متن کاملCosmological Magnetic Fields and Cmbr Polarization
A simple introduction to physics of CMBR polarization and the Faraday rotation of the latter in cosmic magnetic field is presented. The content of the lecture is the following: 1. Description of polarization of photons. 2. Polarization field of CMBR. 3. Faraday effect. 4. Cosmic magnetic fields. 5. Faraday rotation of CMBR polarization.
متن کاملLinear and circular polarization in GRB afterglows
A certain degree of linear polarization has been measured in several GRB afterglows. More surprisingly, circular polarization has been recently measured in GRB121024A. For synchrotron emission, the polarization level depends on: (i) the local magnetic field orientation (ii) the geometry of the emitting region with respect to the line of sight and (iii) the electron pitch-angle distribution. For...
متن کاملTheoretical Analysis of Polarization Rotation angle in Dual Reflector Antenna
Because of special structure, a dual reflector antenna has beam rotation capability in azimuth and elevation directions. In this structure, the antenna beam can be placed in any point in the space by mechanical movement of twist reflector which it is the most important ability of the antenna. Due to the antenna structure, if the polarization of incident wave is linear, it is expected that the p...
