Image Details
Caption: Figure 6.
STEREO-A time series at 975 kHz (blue), 1475 kHz (green), and 1925 kHz (red). Top: radio flux with smoothed trend and two broad maxima (P1, P2). Middle: degree of circular polarization V/I (negative values correspond to left-hand polarization in the STEREO/WAVES convention), reaching ∣V/I∣ ≳ 0.9 near the peaks. Bottom: wavevector azimuth with three linear fits (magenta) between P1 and P2, whose slopes yield the apparent rotation radii Rapp and the frequency-dependent scattering factors ΞF quoted in the text.
