Polarimetric Diagnostics of Unresolved Chromospheric Magnetic Fields
For about a decade, spectropolarimetry of He I λ10830 has been applied to the magnetic diagnostics of the solar chromosphere. This resonance line is very...
Polarimetric Littrow Spectrograph - instrument calibration and first measurements
We present first measurements and the calibration procedure for the Polarimetric Littrow Spectrograph (POLIS) operated at the Vacuum Tower Telescope on Tenerife...
Polarimetric observations of a sample of Compact Steep-Spectrum sources
Measurements of the polarised emission from Compact Steep-Spectrum (CSS) sources can give important information about the physical conditions inside and around...
Context: .Protoplanetary nebulae typically present non-spherical envelopes. The origin of such geometry is still controversial. There are indications that it...
Aims: Our goal is to study the circumstellar environment associated with each component of the wide intermediate-mass pre-main sequence binary system PDS 144...
Polarimetry of the transient relativistic jet of GRB 110328/Swift J164449.3+573451
We present deep infrared (Ks-band) imaging polarimetry and radio (1.4- and 4.8-GHz) polarimetry of the enigmatic transient Swift J164449.3+573451. This source...
Polarimetry toward the IRAS Vela Shell. I. The Catalog
We have obtained linear polarization measurements of stars along the western side of the IRAS Vela Shell toward HD 62542. From 16 CCD fields distributed along...
Polarimetry toward the IRAS Vela Shell. II. Extinction and Magnetic Fields
We explore correlations between visual extinction and polarization along the western side of the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) Vela Shell using a...
