RESOLVED AND UNRESOLVED FARADAY COMPONENTS IN FARADAY SYNTHESIS A. RESOLVED AND UNRESOLVED FARADAY COMPONENTS IN FARADAY SYNTHESIS B. QU FITTING RESULTS B. QU FITTING RESULTS REFERENCES REFERENCES B. QU FITTING RESULTS For the selected points in the head and tail of the tadpole, a two-component beam depolarized model (2 FD + DP) is clearly the best fit, while for the selected off-tadpole point a 2-component model without depolarization (2 FD) may be sufficient within the set of models explored here. As noted in Section 4.4 a full description of the lines of sight toward the tadpole likely includes more complexity than this basic set of models. The primary Faraday depth components, ϕ1, are reasonably consistent between these models, while in the head and tail of the tadpole the secondary component, ϕ2, is strongly dependent on whether or not beam depolarization is included in the model.
