Measurement Equation Analysis Library

MEAL is a library of C++ code that can be used to construct and solve polarization measurement equations. These matrix equations relate the observed polarization state, as represented by the coherency matrix, to the intrinsic polarization state via a product of linear transformations of the electric field, as represented by Jones matrices.

The project documentation is hosted at https://meal.readthedocs.io/en/latest.

The software is hosted at https://gitlab.com/pulsar-astronomy/meal.

Dependencies

The MEAL library depends on epsic, which must be installed before compiling MEAL.

Installation

The following commands can be used to obtain, compile, verify, and install the software.

git clone https://gitlab.com/pulsar-astronomy/meal.git
cd meal
./bootstrap
./configure
make
make check
make install
