Summary[edit]

Description
English: A basic representation of Faraday Rotation. Two electromagnetic waves are shown coming from an astrophysical source. They travel uninterrupted through a non- magneto-ionic region (white background, neB‖ = 0). They then reach areas with the same electron density ne and magnetic field strength B‖, but the magnetic fields are oppositely orientated. The region with B‖ pointed towards the observer rotates the plane of polarisation clockwise, and the region with B‖ pointing away rotates the angle by the same amount, but this time anti-clockwise. The code I wrote to generate the rotating wave can be found [1]. If used, please cite with the DOI https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5899326.
