Dynamical Inference from Polarized Light Curves of Sagittarius A*
Polarimetric light curves of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) sometimes exhibit loops in the Stokes Q and U plane over time, often interpreted as orbiting hotspot motion. In this work, we apply the differential geometry of planar curves to develop a new technique for estimating polarimetric rotation rates. A...
