Deriving the orientation angles

One would like to use the asymmetry to get the orientation of the source. One could then test unified models (Orr & Browne 1982; Barthel 1989). Essentially, the aim is to use the depolarization data to derive the values of sigma_+ and sigma_- for the two lobes; then a model for the depolarizing halo is used to give sigma_+ and sigma_- as a function of angle. I will address the second of these independent steps first.
