Polarimetric observations of the quasar 3C-345
(1988)
Infrared and optical polarimetric observations of the quasar 3C 345 are presented, which show a decrease in the degree of polarization with frequency previously observed by Smith et al., and interpreted by them as the ...
Photometry and polarimetry of AM Herculis in its faint state
(1988)
Infrared and optical photometry and polarimetry of AM Herculis during the faint state of its long-term light variations are presented. The contributions of the two stellar photospheres are estimated and the distance of the ...
EXO 023432-5232.3 - an eclipsing AM Herculis binary
(1988)
The authors report observations of the serendipitous EXOSAT source EXO 023432-5232.3 which confirm that the object is an AM Herculis type binary and show the presence of eclipses by the companion star. From high-speed ...
Spectropolarimetry of the 3-micron ice band in Elias 16 (Taurus Dark Cloud)
(1988)
Polarization data between 1.2 and 3.8 μm, including spectropolarimetry in the 3-μm ice feature, are presented for the highly reddened field star Elias 16 in the Taurus Dark Cloud. The polarization is observed to increase ...
The polarization of NGC 1068
(1988)
Broad-band polarimetry of NGC 1068 over the wavelength range 0.36 - 4.8 μm is presented, together with high-resolution spectropolarimetry of the Hβ, [O III] and Hα, [N II] regions of the spectrum. The authors recognize ...
Interstellar polarization in the dust lane of Centaurus A (NGC 5128)
(1987)
Optical and infrared linear polarization measurements of the Type 1 supernova 1986G in Centaurus A are used to determine the wavelength dependence of polarization produced by transmission of radiation through the dust lane ...
Infrared polarization in OMC-1 - Discovery of a molecular hydrogen reflection nebula
(1986)
The polarization of the broadband continuum at K has been mapped in the core of the OMC-1 with high spatial resolution, and with lower resolution in a more extensive surrounding area. In addition, the first detailed ...
Simultaneous optical and infrared polarization measurements of blazars
(1986)
The authors present measurements of the polarization and flux of a sample of 28 blazars (21 BL Lacs and 7 OVV quasars) at optical and near-infrared wavelengths, with repeated observations for some objects. As in earlier ...
Infrared polarimetry of the nucleus of Centaurus A - The nearest blazar?
(1986)
As one of the nearest examples of an active galaxy, NGC5128 (Centaurus A) has been studied in detail over a wide range of wavelengths. The nucleus of the galaxy is seen clearly in the X-ray, radio and infrared, but is ...
