A recent change in the optical and γ-ray polarization of the Crab nebula and pulsar
Paul Moran, Gillian Kyne, Christian Gouiffes +5
We report on observations of the polarization of optical and γ-ray photons from the Crab nebula and pulsar system using the Galway Astronomical Stokes Polarimeter (GASP), the Hubbl…
An investigation of the Eigenvalue Calibration Method (ECM) using GASP for non-imaging and imaging detectors
Gillian Kyne, David Lara, Gregg Hallinan +2
Polarised light from astronomical targets can yield a wealth of information about their source radiation mechanisms, and about the geometry of the scattered light regions. Optical…
The Galway Astronomical Stokes Polarimeter: An All-Stokes Optical Polarimeter with Ultra-High Time Resolution
Patrick Collins, Gillian Kyne, David Lara +3
Many astronomical objects emit polarised light, which can give information both about their source mechanisms, and about (scattering) geometry in their source regions. To date (mos…
GASP - Galway Astronomical Stokes Polarimeter
Patrick P. Collins, Brendan Shehan, Michael Redfern +1
The Galway Astronomical Stokes Polarimeter (GASP) is an ultra-high-speed, full Stokes, astronomical imaging polarimeter based upon a Division of Amplitude Polarimeter. It has been…
Short time scale pulse stability of the Crab pulsar in the optical band
S. Karpov, G. Beskin, A. Biryukov +4
The fine structure and the variations of the optical pulse shape and phase of the Crab pulsar are studied on various time scales. The observations have been carried out on 4-m Will…
Enhanced Optical Emission During Crab Giant Radio Pulses
A. Shearer, B. Stappers, P. O' Connor +3
We detected a correlation between optical and giant radio pulse emission from the Crab pulsar. Optical pulses coincident with the giant radio pulses were on average 3% brighter tha…
