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 ...
3 MU M Spectropolarimetry of 1120 Ice in Young Stellar Objects
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1996)
Spectropolarimetry of the water-ice feature at 3.1um towards a number of YSOs is presented. The data show that excesses of polarization and changes in position angle across the feature are common. The polarization excess ...
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 ...
Dust in a Hostile Environment: Interstellar Dust in the Line of Sight to HD62542
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1996)
HD 62542 is situated in a line of sight toward a ridge of dark matter in the Gum Nebula. That region is under the influence of UV radiation and stellar winds from hot stars. We use for the first time interstellar polarization ...
