Circular Polarization in Star- Formation Regions : Implications for Biomolecular Homochirality
(1998)
Strong infrared circular polarization resulting from dust scattering in reflection nebulae in the Orion OMC-1 star-formation region has been observed. Circular polarization at shorter wavelengths might have been important ...
Polarization due to dichroic absorption and emission by aligned grains in dusty discs
(1997)
We present a method for calculating the infrared polarization due to absorption and emission by aligned grains distributed in a disc or a torus. The temperature distribution in the torus is calculated with the axially ...
A Model for the Infrared Polarization of NGC 1068
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1996)
We present a method for calculating the polarization due to absorption and emission by aligned grains distributed in a disk or a torus. The temperature distribution in the torus is calculated self-consistently with the ...
Near-infrared imaging polarimetry of bipolar nebulae 1:the BN-KL region of OMC-1
(1991)
New high-spatial-resolution polarization images of the BN-KL region of OMC-1 from 1.25-3.6 microns are presented. At the longer wavelengths these show a centro-symmetric polarization vector pattern, centered mainly on IRc2, ...
Near-infrared imaging polarimetry of bipolar nebulae. 3: R-Mon/NGC-2261
(1991)
High-spatial-resolution polarization vector maps of NGC 2261 at J, H and K show a centrosymmetric pattern, suggesting that it is a near-infrared reflection nebula, illuminated by R Mon. Evidence indicates that R Mon is ...
