Issue Date: | 2015 | Journal: | POS PROCEEDINGS OF SCIENCE | Volume: | Advancing Astrophysics with the Square Kilometre Array (AASKA14) | Number: | 215 | First Page: | 103 | Abstract: | Faraday rotation of polarised background sources is a unique probe of astrophysical magnetic fields in a diverse range of foreground objects. However, to understand the properties of the polarised sources themselves and of depolarising phenomena along the line of sight, we need to complement Faraday rotation data with polarisation observations over very broad bandwidths. Just as it is impossible to properly image a complex source with limited u-v coverage, we can only meaningfully understand the magneto-ionic properties of polarised sources if we have excellent coverage in $\lambda^2$-space. We here propose a set of broadband polarisation surveys with the Square Kilometre Array, which will provide a singular set of scientific insights on the ways in which galaxies and their environments have evolved over cosmic time. | Conference Name: | Advancing Astrophysics with the Square Kilometre Array (AASKA14) | Conference Place: | Giardini Naxos, Italy | Conference Date: | 9 -13 June, 2014 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/23560 | URL: | https://pos.sissa.it/215/103/ | ISSN: | 1824-8039 | ISBN: | 9781909204706 | DOI: | https://doi.org/10.22323/1.215.0103 | Bibcode ADS: | 2015aska.confE.103G | Fulltext: | open |
