Extended Data Fig. 6: The polarization profile of a 30-ms burst observed with MeerKAT PTUSE. The RM is −531 rad m−2.

Extended Data Fig. 6

The top panel shows the measurements of the PA at different pulse phases. The middle panel shows the total, linearly polarized and circularly polarized flux densities as a function of time, represented by the black, red and blue lines, respectively. The bottom panel shows the dynamic spectrum of the burst. The start time of the plot is 19:35:43.228133 UTC 20 July 2022. The apparent steep spectrum is not intrinsic to the source but because of the misalignment of the coherent beam.
