nenupy.astro.astro_tools.faraday_angle(frequency, rotation_measure, inverse=False)[source]

Computes the Faraday rotation angle.

Parameters:

  • frequency (Quantity) – Light frequency (in units equivalent to MHz).

  • rotation_measure (Quantity) – Rotation measure (in units equivalent to rad/m2).

  • inverse (bool) – Compute the opposite angle, in order to correct the signal as seen from Earth.

Returns:

Faraday rotation angle in radians.

Return type:

Quantity
