Scintillation-induced circular polarization in pulsars and quasars.

MACQUART J.-P. and MELROSE D.B.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present a physical interpretation for the generation of circular polarization resulting from the propagation of radiation through a magnetized plasma in terms of a rotation measure gradient, or ``Faraday wedges.'' Criteria for the observability of scintillation-induced circular polarization are identified. Application of the theory to the circular polarization in pulsars and compact extragalactic sources is discussed.
