Extended Data Fig. 6: Images in full Stokes and polarized intensity (in Jy beam−1), and RM (in rad m−2), of the region 5° × 5° around GLEAM-X J162759.5-523504.3.

From: A radio transient with unusually slow periodic emission

Extended Data Fig. 6

The images were made using observation 1200354592 on 18 January 2018 at 23:49, using only the interval where the source was producing emission. Faraday rotation over the imaged bandwidth of 30 MHz causes the Stokes Q, U and V emission to average to zero. The polarized intensity shows the maximum value of the RM spectrum. Where the polarized intensity is less than seven times the local noise, the corresponding RM value has been masked.
