Polarimetric and spectropolarimetric observations with FoReRo2: Instrument overview and standard star monitoring
Yanko Nikolov, Galin Borisov, Stefano Bagnulo +3
In this paper, we present a description and characterisation of the 2-Channel Focal Reducer Rozhen (FoReRo2), with an emphasis on its polarimetric and spectropolarimetric observati…
Implications of the Small Spin Changes Measured for Large Jupiter-Family Comet Nuclei
Rosita Kokotanekova, Colin Snodgrass, Pedro Lacerda +3
Rotational spin-up due to outgassing of comet nuclei has been identified as a possible mechanism for considerable mass-loss and splitting. We report a search for spin changes for t…
The 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko observation campaign in support of the Rosetta mission
C. Snodgrass, M. F. A'Hearn, F. Aceituno +112
We present a summary of the campaign of remote observations that supported the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission. Telescopes across the globe (and in space) followed comet 67…
ESpeRo: Echelle Spectrograph Rozhen
Tanyu Bonev, Haralambi Markov, Toma Tomov +11
In this paper we describe the echelle spectrograph of the 2 meter telescope of the Rozhen National Astronomical Observatory. The spectrograph is a cross-dispersed, bench-mounted, f…
Imaging polarimetry and spectropolarimetry of comet C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy)
Galin Borisov, Stefano Bagnulo, Plamen Nikolov +1
We have obtained imaging polarimetry of the comet C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy) with 2-Channel-Focal-Reducer Rozhen instrument at 2m Ritchey-Chrétien-Coudé telescope of the Bulgarian Nationa…
The astrometric Gaia-FUN-SSO observation campaign of 99 942 Apophis
W. Thuillot, D. Bancelin, A. Ivantsov +71
Astrometric observations performed by the Gaia Follow-Up Network for Solar System Objects (Gaia-FUN-SSO) play a key role in ensuring that moving objects first detected by ESA's Gai…
