solpolpy is a solar polarization resolver based onDeforest et al. 2022.It converts between various polarization formats, e.g. from the native three triple version from observations(also known as the MZP convention) to polarization brightness (pB) and total brightness (B), Stokes I, Q and U, etc.As it is in early development, breaking changes may be frequent.

An example of transforming the polarization basis using the LASCO/C2 images isshown in the image below. The images at polarizing angles of -60°, 0° and +60° is shown in the top panel asBm, Bz and Bp respectively. The bottom panel shows the output of thesolpolpy to convert the initial basisto the Stokes I, Q and U.

pip install solpolpy
