Spectropolarimetry of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy IRAS 110548-1131
(1993)
From spectropolarimetric observations of the galaxy IRAS 110548-1131 we report very strong, broad H-alpha emission (FWHM 7600 km/s) in the polarized flux spectrum. This suggests that IRAS 110548-1131 has an obscured ...
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) ...
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, ...
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, ...
