Commissioning and on-sky performance of FiberPol: a fiber-fed spectropolarimetric system for the SAAO 1.9 m telescope
Siddharth Maharana, K. C. J. Dennison-Farrar, Sabyasachi Chattopadhyay +8
At the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO), we have developed FiberPol a spectropolarimetric front-end for the SpUpNIC spectrograph on the 1.9 m telescope fed by fiber…
WALOP-South: a four camera one shot imaging polarimeter for the PASIPHAE survey. Paper III -- PSF modelling
Indrajit Paul, Kishan Deka, Tuhin Ghosh +22
The paper presents a polar shapelet‑based method for modeling the point spread function of the WALOP‑South wide‑field imaging polarimeter, achieving ~0.15% photometric accuracy for…
Evidence for cloud-to-cloud variations in the ratio of polarized thermal dust emission to starlight polarization
Nidhi Mehandiratta, Georgia V. Panopoulou, Eirik Gjerløw +12
The correlation between optical starlight polarization and polarized thermal dust emission can be used to infer intrinsic dust properties. This correlation is quantified by the rat…
