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 ...
The origin of the visual and infrared pulsations in the intermediate polar FO AQR (H2215-086)
(1986)
Simultaneous visual and infrared polarimetry of the intermediate polar FO Aqr (H2215-086) shows that its visual and infrared pulsations, seen at the rotation period of the white dwarf, are not circularly polarized. This ...
Infrared spectropolarimetry of the galactic-center-magnetic alignment in the discrete sources
(1986)
The results of 8-13 micron spectropolarimetric observations of Galactic Center sources are presented. All the sources show interstellar polarization due to absorption by aligned silicate grains, and these grains appear to ...
Infrared photometry of the nuclei of early-type radio galaxies
(1986)
The authors have obtained near- and mid-infrared photometry of the nuclei of both strong and weak radio galaxies. The implication of these data are that a relatively small percentage, ≅15 per cent, of radio ellipticals ...
