Mid-infrared polarimetry and magnetic fields : an observing strategy
(2004)
Linear polarimetry in the mid-infrared can be used to obtain magnetic field directions in astronomical sources. However, since the polarization can arise from emission and/or absorption from aligned grains, care is needed ...
Studies in mid-infrared spectropolarimetry - II : An atlas of spectra
(2000)
We present 8–13 μm spectropolarimetry of 55 sources and 16–22 μm spectropolarimetry of six of these. This represents a substantial fraction of star formation regions that can be observed in this way with current technology ...
