The WALOP-North Instrument I: Optical Design, Filter Design, Calibration
John A. Kypriotakis, Siddharth Maharana, Ramya M. Anche +18
The Wide Area Linear Optical Polarimeter North (WALOP-North) is an optical polarimeter designed for the needs of the PASIPHAE survey. It will be installed on the 1.3m telescope at…
An analytical model for the magnetic field in the thick shell of Galactic bubbles with uniform initial conditions
V. Pelgrims, M. Unger, I. C. Maris
Bubbles and super-bubbles are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium and influence their local magnetic field. Starting from the assumption that bubbles result from violent explosio…
Linear polarization study of open clusters towards the anticenter direction: Signature of the spiral arms
Namita Uppal, Shashikiran Ganesh, Vincent Pelgrims +2
Our objective is to investigate the distribution of dust and associated large-scale structures of the Galaxy using optical linear polarization measurements of various open clusters…
Systems design, assembly, integration and lab testing of WALOP-South Polarimeter
Siddharth Maharana, A. N. Ramaprakash, Chaitanya Rajarshi +28
Wide-Area Linear Optical Polarimeter (WALOP)-South is the first wide-field and survey-capacity polarimeter in the optical wavelengths. On schedule for commissioning in 2024, it wil…
The magnetic field of the Radcliffe Wave: starlight polarization at nearest approach to the Sun
G. V. Panopoulou, C. Zucker, D. Clemens +6
We investigate the geometry of the magnetic field towards the Radcliffe Wave, a coherent 3-kpc-long part of the nearby Local Arm recently discovered via three-dimensional dust mapp…
The first degree-scale starlight-polarization-based tomography map of the magnetized interstellar medium
V. Pelgrims, N. Mandarakas, R. Skalidis +21
We present the first degree-scale tomography map of the dusty magnetized interstellar medium (ISM) from stellar polarimetry and distance measurements. We used the RoboPol polarimet…
