Polarization Degree

Polarization Degree is a quantitative metric in polarimetric astronomy that characterizes the fraction of electromagnetic radiation that is linearly polarized, distinguishing it from total intensity or circular polarization measurements by specifically quantifying the anisotropy in the electric field orientation of photons in ultraviolet and X-ray bands.
