Optical and near-infrared spectropolarimetry of the infrared-luminous galaxy IRAS 23060+0505
(1996)
We present optical and near-IR spectropolarimetry of the type 2 infrared-luminous galaxy IRAS 23060+0505, which clearly shows both broad Hα and Paalpha in polarized flux. The full widths at half maximum (FWHM) of these ...
Near-infrared and millimetre polarimetry of CEN A
(1996)
We present near-infrared polarization images of the nuclear region of CenA, and millimetre polarimetry of the nucleus. In the near-infrared the polarization vectors mainly lie along the dust lane, with the polarization ...
Near-IR spectropolarimetry and modeling of NGC 1068
(1995)
We present new spectropolarimetric data for NGC 1068, including, for the first time, coverage in the near-IR. Using these, and other previously published data, we develop a scattering model for NGC 1068, using NGC 5548 for ...
Polarimetry and photometry of the new AM Herculis system RE J1844-741
(1995)
The ROSAT Wide Field Camera extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) source RE J1844-741 was identified with a 16th-magnitude cataclysmic variable with a period of 90 min by O'Donoghue et al. In this paper, we present spectropolarimetry ...
Spatially Resolved Spectropolarimetry of NGC 1068
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1994)
A turning point in the study of AGN was the discovery of broad hydrogen lines seen in polarized light in the nucleus of NGC 1068 (Antonucci and Miller 1985). A model was developed whereby the scatterers responsible for ...
Near-IR Spectropolarimetry of NGC 1088
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1994)
The current unified model of Seyfert galaxies, as proposed by Antonucci and Miller (1985), has most, if not all, Seyfert 2 galaxies hosting a Seyfert 1 type nucleus in their cores. The broad lines from the type 1 nucleus ...
IR Imaging Polarimetry of the Nuclear Regions of CEN A
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1994)
Aperture polarimetry of the nucleus of Cen A (Bailey et al. 1986) revealed a very red polarized source present in the K and L bands which was interpreted as a blazar type nucleus. To study this region in more detail we ...
