ACS Polarization Tools

Toolkit for analyzing HST/ACS WFC and HRC polarization data. For more information about ACS polarization data analysis, see Section 5.3 of the ACS Data Handbook.

Functions

calc_theta(q, u, detector, pav3)	Calculate the position angle of the electric field vector given Stokes Q and U.
calc_fraction(i, q, u[, transmission_correction])	Method for determining the fractional polarization.
calc_stokes(pol0, pol60, pol120[, c0, c60, c120])	Calculate the Stokes parameters for ACS observations.

Classes

PolarizerTables(input_dict)	A class for holding all of the polarization tables (as astropy tables) in attributes.
Polarization(pol0, pol60, pol120, ...[, tables])	Class for handling ACS polarization data.
