Query: Radio Astronomical Polarimetry and the Lorentz Group   In radio astronomy the polarimetric properties of radiation are often
modified during propagation and reception. Effects such as Faraday rotation,
receiver cross-talk, and differential amplification act to change the state of
polarized radiation. A general description of such transformations is useful
for the investigation of these effects and for the interpretation and
calibration of polarimetric observations. Such a description is provided by the
Lorentz group, which is intimately related to the transformation properties of
polarized radiation. In this paper the transformations that commonly arise in
radio astronomy are analyzed in the context of this group. This analysis is
then used to construct a model for the propagation and reception of radio
waves. The implications of this model for radio astronomical polarimetry are
discussed.
