The RoboPol sample of optical polarimetric standards

D. Blinov, S. Maharana, F. Bouzelou +34

Optical polarimeters are typically calibrated using measurements of stars with known and stable polarization parameters. However, there is a lack of such stars available across the…

RoboPol: A four-channel optical imaging polarimeter

A. N. Ramaprakash, C. V. Rajarshi, H. K. Das +30

We present the design and performance of RoboPol, a four-channel optical polarimeter operating at the Skinakas Observatory in Crete, Greece. RoboPol is capable of measuring both re…

RoboPol: Connection between optical polarization plane rotations and gamma-ray flares in blazars

D. Blinov, V. Pavlidou, I. Papadakis +21

We use results of our 3 year polarimetric monitoring program to investigate the previously suggested connection between rotations of the polarization plane in the optical emission…

RoboPol: First season rotations of optical polarization plane in blazars

D. Blinov, V. Pavlidou, I. Papadakis +25

We present first results on polarization swings in optical emission of blazars obtained by RoboPol, a monitoring program of an unbiased sample of gamma-ray bright blazars specially…

Optical polarization map of the Polaris Flare with RoboPol

G. V. Panopoulou, K. Tassis, D. Blinov +26

The stages before the formation of stars in molecular clouds are poorly understood. Insights can be gained by studying the properties of quiescent clouds, such as their magnetic fi…

M31N 2005-09c: a fast FeII nova in the disk of M31

D. Hatzidimitriou, P. Reig, A. Manousakis +3

Classical novae are quite frequent in M~31. However, very few spectra of M31 novae have been studied to date, especially during the early decline phase. Our aim is to study the pho…
