Once #1391 is merged, there is one outstanding gains table type left to build support for, which is the polarization leakage terms (in CASA parlance, "D Jones"). I wasn't able to readily find example files for this, which is why support for it was not included in the original MS Cal PR, but it would be nice to add support for it.

Some notes for later:

  • With Adding new Telescope attributes for feeds and mounts #1521, I have the ability to correctly generate polarization solutions in CASA (as cross-validated via MIRIAD) 🥳
  • Polarization tables are recorded as d-terms/leakages, with only the off-diagonals recorded.
  • Soln shape is recorded with three axes -- ant-time-spw, frequency, and polarization/jones
  • Polarizations are not labeled, but are in "CASA-standard" order (R/L, X/Y)
