Table A.1
Parameters of the Gaussian noise distributions used to perturb the ALMA data in our Monte Carlo polarimetry assessment.
| Noise type | Noise mean | Noise std. |
|---|---|---|
| D-terms (real and imag) | 0 | 1% |
| X-Y Phase | 0 | 2 deg. |
| X-Y bandpass (amplitude) | 0 | 0.1% |
| X-Y bandpass (phase) | 0 | 0.5 deg. |
| Thermal (cont.) | 0 | 8.5 × 10−5 Jy |
Notes. “X-Y Phase” is the residual phase between the polarizers at the reference antenna. “X-Y bandpass” is the channel-wise residual noise of the bandpass, relative between polarizers. “Thermal” is the theoretical image sensitivity in the continuum (as estimated from the Stokes V image). “D-terms” is the channel-wise residual polarization leakage.
