ipole version 2.0 (released April, 2020)
The files in this directory are part of ipole.
ipole is a program that solves the equations of polarized radiative transfer
in covariant form, using ray tracing. It produces images in Stokes I,Q,U,V
at the location of a "camera."
This version is configured to use data from a harm3d run, which use modified
Kerr-Schild coordinates, and assumes synchrotron emission and absorption
along with faraday rotation.
You are morally obligated to cite the following papera in any
scientific literature that results from use of any part of ipole:
