Extended Data Fig. 6: RM synthesis spectra before and after thin-screen subtraction.

The blue and orange curve are the RM synthesis intensity spectra for burst 5. The orange curve is computed after subtracting the Stokes parameters Q and U corresponding to the RM of burst 5. The orange curve is consistent with noise. This indicates a thin-screen scenario for the Faraday rotation.
