Simultaneous UBVRIJK photometric and polarimetric observations of PQ Gem
(1997)
We present simultaneous UBVRIJK observations of the intermediate polar PQ Gem (RE J0751+14) obtained on 1993 February 18 and 19 using the Hatfield Polarimeter on UKIRT. The light curves show double- peaked modulation on ...
Beaming in Radio-Quiet AGN
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1997)
We have obtained new optical spectropolarimetric data for the radio-quiet Seyfert NGC 1068, taken through apertures on the nucleus and at two positions within the ionization/scattering cone. The equivalent width of scattered ...
Scattered broad optical lines in the polarized flux spectrum of the FR II galaxy 3C 321
(1996)
The authors present optical/infrared broad-band filter polarimetry and optical spectropolarimetry of the powerful FR II galaxy 3C 321. The latter observations reveal a scattered broad component to the Hα emission line, ...
Polarimetry and modelling of narrow-line active galaxies
(1996)
We present optical spectropolarimetry along with optical and infrared broad-band filter polarimetry of selected warm [f(25 μm)/f(60 μm)>=0.3] IRAS galaxies and other known Seyfert 2 galaxies. Broad lines in polarized flux ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
