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) ...
Near-infrared imaging polarimetry of bipolar nebulae. 4: GL-490, GL-2789, GL-2136
(1991)
High spatial resolution near-IR polarization and surface brightness images of the ouflow sources GL 490, GL 2789 and GL 2136 are presented. Polarization vector-maps at J, H and K show centro-symmetric patterns around GL ...
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 ...
New polarimetric observations and a 2 pole model for the cyclotron emission from AM Herculis
(1991)
High signal-to-noise ratio phase dependent linear polarization and intensity data on AM Herculis which show the presence of structured linear pulses in the optical and near IR regions is presented. The data have been ...
A multiband 2-beam optical and infrared polarimeter
(1991)
A new polarimeter capable of simultaneous observations in the U, B, V, R and I optical bands and one of the J, H, K, L and M near-infrared bands has been constructed. The polarimeter has good polarization efficiency and ...
