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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Discovery of another Am-Herculis Variable in the Period Gap
(1993)
Recently, Buckley et al. drew attention to a new AM Her variable, RE1938 - , discovered by the ROSAT survey with a period of 2.33 h which places it in the middle of the usual 2-3 h period gap for cataclysmic variables. ...
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 ...
Detection of photospheric Zeeman features and cyclotron emission lines in V834 CEN in a low state
(1992)
Simultaneous spectroscopic and polarimetric observations of the AM Herculis system V834 Cen during a low state of accretion are reported. The polarization data show a reversal in the sign of the circular polarization when ...
