AI Thread Summary
Faraday pulsation is identified as a mechanism that mixes Stokes components in the radiative transfer matrix, distinct from rotation. The discussion highlights that turbulence combined with magnetic field effects may contribute to this phenomenon. Participants express a need for further understanding, with one considering contacting the author of a related paper for more insights. There is a consensus that Faraday pulsation involves complexities beyond mere differential scattering of Stokes parameters. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the intricate relationship between magnetic fields and radiative transfer processes.

TL;DR Summary
What is the mechanism of faraday pulsation
I’ve bee reading through “Introduction to spectropolarimetry” by del Toro Iniesta and he mentions Faraday pulsation as a mechanism causing
mixing of stokes components in the radiative transfer matrix. This is not rotation, that is separate. Any idea what this is? Thanks john

Thanks, these get me closer. I may have to contact the author. I had the impression it was more than just differential scattering of the stokes parameters. But again thanks. John
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
