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 ...
Powering the Broad H alpha Line in BL Lacertae

Magnetic Fields in Star Forming Regions - Near-Infrared and Submillimeter Approaches
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1996)
In order to study the magnetic field structure in star forming regions on various scales, we have been conducting both near-infrared and submillimeter polarimetry toward nearby molecular clouds. The near-infrared approach ...
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 ...
A model for the infrared continuum spectrum of NGC 1068
(1995)
We present a model for the nuclear infrared (IR) continuum spectrum of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068. The torus emission is modelled in terms of the tapered disc models of Efstathiou & Rowan-Robinson, which give a good fit ...
