This plot

For polarized standard stars the pipeline determines the difference between the measured linear polarization and the value tabulated in the catalogue. Since polarization parameters are usually tabulated for broad-band filters the pipeline selects the broad-band filter closest to the central wavelength of the grism. The difference is then normalized by dividing through the tabulated value.  

General information

Click on any of the plots to see a close-up version.

The latest date is indicated on top of the plot.

If configured,

  • data points belonging to the latest date are specially marked
  • statistical averages are indicated by a solid line, and thresholds by broken lines
  • outliers are marked by a red asterisk. They are defined as data points outside the threshold lines
  • "aliens" (= data points outside the plot Y limits) are marked by a red arrow (↑ or ↓)
  • you can download the data for each parameter set if the 'Data downloads' link shows up
