On-axis Polarization Calibration of the FAST L-band 19-beam Receiver

On-axis Polarization Calibration of the FAST L-band 19-beam Receiver

We present the polarization calibration of the 19-beam receiver at 1420 MHz within the full illumination of the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope from 2018 October to 2023 March. We perform spider observations to characterize the on-axis Mueller matrix of the central beam. The ca...
