What is Faraday pulsation and how does it impact radiative transfer?

TL;DR Summary

What is the mechanism of faraday pulsation

I’ve bee reading through “Introduction to spectropolarimetry” by del Toro Iniesta and he mentions Faraday pulsation as a mechanism causing
mixing of stokes components in the radiative transfer matrix. This is not rotation, that is separate. Any idea what this is? Thanks john

I di not read it in detail (out of my field) but my impression is turbulence in combination with the magnetic field effects is a cause of the flicker.

Thanks, these get me closer. I may have to contact the author. I had the impression it was more than just differential scattering of the stokes parameters. But again thanks. John
