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 ...
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 ...
Polarimetry of ST LMi - Discovery of a second accreting pole
(1992)
We have obtained simultaneous multiband photometric and polarimetric light curves for ST LMi (CW1103 + 254) in the visible range and the near-infrared on three occasions. These clearly show the presence of previously ...
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) ...
New polarimetric observations and a 2 pole model for the cyclotron emission from AM Herculis
(1991)
High signal-to-noise ratio phase dependent linear polarization and intensity data on AM Herculis which show the presence of structured linear pulses in the optical and near IR regions is presented. The data have been ...
Near-infrared imaging polarimetry of bipolar nebulae. 3: R-Mon/NGC-2261
(1991)
High-spatial-resolution polarization vector maps of NGC 2261 at J, H and K show a centrosymmetric pattern, suggesting that it is a near-infrared reflection nebula, illuminated by R Mon. Evidence indicates that R Mon is ...
