Polarimetry for the Gemini telescopes
(1998)
Polarimeters at optical and near-IR wavelengths are increasingly available as part of facility instruments at major observatories, and are used for a large number of astronomical programs, ranging form nearby star-forming ...
Circular Polarization in Star- Formation Regions : Implications for Biomolecular Homochirality
(1998)
Strong infrared circular polarization resulting from dust scattering in reflection nebulae in the Orion OMC-1 star-formation region has been observed. Circular polarization at shorter wavelengths might have been important ...
The profiles of polarized broad Hα lines in radio galaxies
(1998)
We present spectropolarimetric observations of seven broad-line radio galaxies. We find significantly polarized broad Hα emission in four objects including two, Arp 102B and 3C 390.3, which have double-peaked line profiles. ...
The obscured BLR in the radio galaxy 3C 234
(1998)
We present spectropolarimetric observations of the radio galaxy 3C 234 at optical and, for the first time, near-IR wavelengths. In agreement with previous observations we detect broad Hα in total and polarized flux, ...
Polarimetry for the Gemini telescopes
(Int Soc for Optical Engineering, 1998)
Polarimeters at optical and near-IR wavelengths are increasingly available as part of facility instruments at major observatories, and are used for a large number of astronomical programs, ranging form nearby star-forming ...
Near-infrared imaging polarimetry of Cygnus A
(1998)
We present a 2.2-μm polarization image of the nuclear regions of Cygnus A. The degree of polarization in the central 1 arcsec is (4.1±0.50) per cent, at a position angle of (23.6±3.6)°, approximately perpendicular to the ...
