DragonflyPol: Wide-Field Optical Linear Polarimetry with the Dragonfly Telephoto Array (Instrument Description and Commissioning)
Mehrnoosh Tahani, Leo Hollberg, Hiroshi Akitaya +9
The paper presents DragonflyPol, a wide-field optical linear polarimetry system built on the Dragonfly Telephoto Array, describing its modular design, laboratory characterization o…
Tracking down the broadband polarimetric properties of PG 1553+113
Riccardo Middei, Svetlana G. Jorstad, Alan P. Marscher +78
We report on a nine-month monitoring campaign of the blazar PG 1553+113, relying on three observations carried out in 2025 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and su…
The IXPE and multifrequency polarimetric view of the extreme blazars 1ES 1101-232 and RGB J0710+591
Fabrizio Tavecchio, Dawoon E. Kim, Gabriel Emery +53
Multiwavelength polarimetry is a powerful tool to probe magnetic field and flow geometries in the relativistic jets of blazars. In this respect, particularly interesting are the so…
Dust Properties of the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Revealed by Optical and Near-Infrared Polarimetry
Seungwon Choi, Masateru Ishiguro, Jun Takahashi +17
We present independent polarimetric observations of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, including the first near-infrared polarimetric measurements. Using imaging polarimeters, we me…
J-GEM near-infrared follow-up observations of the gravitational wave event S240422ed
Ichiro Takahashi, Tomoki Morokuma, Masaomi Tanaka +9
We report our near-infrared (NIR) follow-up observations of the gravitational wave (GW) event S240422ed using the Subaru Telescope/MOIRCS. S240422ed was initially classified as a b…
Insights from the first flaring activity of a high-synchrotron-peaked blazar with X-ray polarization and VHE gamma rays
MAGIC Collaboration, K. Abe, S. Abe +250
We study a flaring activity of the HSP Mrk421 that was characterized from radio to very-high-energy (VHE; E TeV) gamma rays with MAGIC, Fermi-LAT, Swift, XMM-Newton and sever…
