A Wideband Polarization Observation of Hydra A with the Jansky Very Large Array
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We present the results of a wideband high-resolution polarization study of Hydra A, one of the most luminous FR I radio galaxies known and among the most well studied. The radio emission from this source displays extremely large Faraday rotation measures (RMs), ranging from −12,300 rad m −2 to 5000 rad m −2 , the majority of which are believed to originate from magnetized thermal gas external to the radio tails. The radio emission from both tails strongly depolarizes with decreasing frequency. Depolarization, as a function of wavelength, is commonly nonmonotonic, often showing oscillatory behavior, with strongly nonlinear rotation of the polarization position angle with λ 2 . A simple model, based on the RM screen derived from the high-frequency, high-resolution data, predicts the lower frequency depolarization remarkably well. The success of this model indicates the majority of the depolarization can be attributed to fluctuations in the magnetic field on scales <1500 pc, suggesting the presence of turbulent magnetic field/electron density structures on subkiloparsec scales within a Faraday rotating medium.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
