Statistical Properties of a Polarization Vector's Ellipticity Angle
M. M. McKinnon
The orientation of a polarization vector on the Poincare sphere is defined by its position angle (PA) and ellipticity angle (EA). The radio emission from pulsars, magnetars, and fa…

Polarization Estimation for Radio Pulsars
M. M. McKinnon
A number of polarization estimators have been developed for a variety of astrophysical applications to compensate measurements of linear polarization for a bias contributed by the…
