摘要：
来自多个法拉第深度的偏振同步辐射可以通过计算 Stokes 参数关于波长平方函数的复傅里叶变换来分离，这一方法被称为 Faraday Synthesis（法拉第综合）。在通常实现中，该变换会引入一个额外项 $λ_0^2$，它会展宽实部和虚部光谱，但不会展宽振幅光谱。我们使用理想化测试来研究：当 clean 过程的恢复波束被设置为 $λ_0^2=0$ 的实部“全”分辨率光谱中峰值的较窄宽度时，是否能够恢复额外信息。我们发现，$λ_0^2$ 的选择不会产生差异，差异仅来自使用更小的恢复波束。对于单个法拉第分量，使用这种较小波束时，准确度和相位稳定性保持不变。然而，对于多个法拉第分量使用较小的恢复波束，我们发现：a）分量之间的区分更好；b）层析成像图像中结构的混合显著减少；c）法拉第光谱和层析图中的伪特征减少。我们还讨论了在与振幅光谱峰值宽度相当的尺度上信息准确度有限的问题，并指出存在一种 clean 偏差，会降低恢复出的振幅。我们给出了使用 MeerKAT L 波段数据的示例。我们还重新考察了巡天所能敏感的最大法拉第深度宽度，并引入变量 $W_{max}$，即功率下降至原来的 1/2 时对应的宽度。我们发现，除非使用较窄的全恢复波束，否则大多数巡天无法分辨连续的法拉第分布。
英文摘要：
Polarized synchrotron emission from multiple Faraday depths can be separated by calculating the complex Fourier transform of the Stokes' parameters as a function of the wavelength squared, known as Faraday Synthesis. As commonly implemented, the transform introduces an additional term $λ_0^2$, which broadens the real and imaginary spectra, but not the amplitude spectrum. We use idealized tests to investigate whether additional information can be recovered with a clean process restoring beam set to the narrower width of the peak in the real ``full" resolution spectrum with $λ_0^2=0$. We find that the $λ_0^2$ choice makes no difference, except for the use of a smaller restoring beam. With this smaller beam, the accuracy and phase stability are unchanged for single Faraday components. However, using the smaller restoring beam for multiple Faraday components we find a) better discrimination of the components, b) significant reductions in blending of structures in tomography images, and c) reduction of spurious features in the Faraday spectra and tomography maps. We also discuss the limited accuracy of information on scales comparable to the width of the amplitude spectrum peak, and note a clean-bias, reducing the recovered amplitudes. We present examples using MeerKAT L-band data. We also revisit the maximum width in Faraday depth to which surveys are sensitive, and introduce the variable $W_{max}$, the width for which the power drops by a factor of 2. We find that most surveys cannot resolve continuous Faraday distributions unless the narrower full restoring beam is used.
