Observed Effect and Relevant Physics:

Pipeline Processing:

Creating Calibrations:

Calibration DB File Type: Instrumental Polarization

File Suffix: instpol

Generate with Recipe:

This is not generated using a pipeline recipe - it’s a complicated one-time calibration performed during integration and test at UCSC. Contact Max or Sloane for more information.
