Polarimetry with the GMRT at 610 MHz

Abstract
The effect of regular magnetic fields on the evolution of galaxies and clusters is best studied through observation of polarised, low frequency synchrotron emission. Recently, a full-polar mode has come online at the GMRT . The talk will cover the calibration of GMRT polarimetric observations, so that the instrument can now be used for Rotation Measure synthesis – an essential technique for lines of sight where the emitting and Faraday rotating regions are mixed.
Series This talk is part of the Cavendish Astrophysics Seminars series.
