Evidence for an Obscured Broadline Region in the Early Type Radio Galaxy IC5063
(1993)
We report the detection of strong, broad Hα emission seen in polarized flux from the early-type radio galaxy IC 5063. This suggests that the galaxy has a broad-line region which is obscured from our direct view, with the ...
An optical and near-infrared polarization survey of nearby starburst and interacting galaxies
(1991)
Broadband optical and near-infrared polarization and flux density measurements of a sample of 27 starburst and interacting galaxies are presented. The observed polarizations are generally small (P is less than 1 percent) ...
An optical and near-infrared polarization survey of Seyfert and broad-line radio galaxies. 1 : statistical properties
(1990)
The present broad-band and near-IR flux density and polarization measurements of a sample of 71 Seyfert galaxies and three broad-line radio galaxies confirms earlier indications that the polarization of Seyferts is generally ...
An optical and near-infrared polarization survey of Seyfert and broad-line radio galaxies. 2 : the wavelength dependence of polarization
(1990)
We discuss the wavelength dependence (0.44-2.2 micron) of polarization of the sample of 71 Seyfert and three broad-line radio galaxies presented in Paper I. For four galaxies, 3A 0557-353, Fairall 51, IC 4329A and NGC 3753, ...
Optical and infrared polarimetry and photometry of blazars
(1990)
We have carried out a polarization study of 44 blazars and candidate blazars at optical and near-infrared frequencies covering the period 1986 August to 1988 February. The data show flux and polarization properties changing ...
Simultaneous optical and infrared polarization measurements of blazars
(1986)
The authors present measurements of the polarization and flux of a sample of 28 blazars (21 BL Lacs and 7 OVV quasars) at optical and near-infrared wavelengths, with repeated observations for some objects. As in earlier ...
Coordinated multisite observations of the variability of BL Lac
(1985)
The authors present the results of multisite observations of the optical polarization of BL Lac, together with some flux measurements, at a time when BL Lac was relatively faint. The level of polarization varies in a manner ...
