Solar polarization resolver for any instrument
Project description
solpolpy
UNDER DEVELOPMENT
solpolpy is a solar polarization resolver based on Deforest et al. 2022.
It converts between various polarization formats, e.g. from the native three triple version from observations
(also known as the MZP convention) to polarization brightness (pB) and total polarization (B), Stokes I, Q and U, etc.
An example of transforming the polarization basis using the LASCO/C2 images is
shown in the image below.
The images at polarizing angles of -60°, 0° and +60° is shown in the top panel as
Bm, Bz and Bp respectively.
The bottom panel shows the output of the solpolpy to convert the initial basis
to the Stokes I, Q and U.
