Notes. The ani are the coefficients taken from Perley & Butler (2013a) to determine the Stokes I behavior. The νc [GHz] is the central frequency used for the determination of the polynomial functions for the polarized data; the χCoeff [rad] are the coefficients used for the parametrization of the polarization angle and the pCoeff are the coefficients used for the parametrization of the fractional polarization. UV restrict is a restriction in the UV plane, as suggested by NRAO.
