Spectropolarimetry of Galactic stars with anomalous extinction sightlines
Aleksandar Cikota, Thiem Hoang, Stefan Taubenberger +8
Highly reddened type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) with low total-to-selective visual extinction ratio values, , also show peculiar linear polarization wavelength dependencies with p…
Spectropolarimetry of the Type IIb SN 2008aq
H. F. Stevance, J. R. Maund, D. Baade +8
We present optical spectroscopy and spectropolarimetry of the Type IIb SN 2008aq 16 days and 27 days post-explosion. The spectrum of SN 2008aq remained dominated by Halpha P Cygni…
Spectropolarimetry of the Type Ib Supernova iPTF 13bvn: Revealing the complex explosion geometry of a stripped-envelope core-collapse supernova
Emma Reilly, Justyn R. Maund, Dietrich Baade +8
We present six epochs of spectropolarimetric observations and one epoch of spectroscopy of the Type Ib SN iPTF 13bvn. The epochs of these observations correspond to 10 to 61…
Properties of extragalactic dust inferred from linear polarimetry of Type Ia Supernovae
F. Patat, S. Taubenberger, N. L. J. Cox +9
Aims: The aim of this paper is twofold: 1) to investigate the properties of extragalactic dust and compare them to what is seen in the Galaxy; 2) to address in an independent way t…
Persistent C II Absorption in the Normal Type Ia Supernova 2002fk
Régis Cartier, Mario Hamuy, Giuliano Pignata +16
We present well-sampled photometry of SN 2002fk starting 12 days before maximum light through 122 days after peak brightness, along with a series of 15 optical spectra f…
Spectropolarimetry of the Type Ia Supernova 2012fr
J. R. Maund, J. Spyromilio, P. A. Hoeflich +7
Spectropolarimetry provides the means to probe the 3D geometries of Supernovae at early times. We report spectropolarimetric observations of the Type Ia Supernova 2012fr at four ep…
Spectropolarimetry of the Type Ia SN 2007sr Two Months After Maximum Light
P. Zelaya, J. R. Quinn, D. Baade +6
We present late time spectropolarimetric observations of SN 2007sr, obtained with the VLT telescope at ESO Paranal Observatory when the object was 63 days after maximum light. The…
Diffuse Intracluster Light at Intermediate Redshifts: ICL observations in a X-ray cluster at z=0.29
I. Toledo, J. Melnick, F. Selman +3
The diffuse intracluster light (ICL) contains a significant fraction of the total stellar mass in clusters of galaxies, and contributes in roughly equal proportion as the hot intra…
A spectropolarimetric view on the nature of the peculiar Type I SN 2005hk
J. R. Maund, J. C. Wheeler, L. Wang +6
We report two spectropolarimetric observations of SN 2005hk, which is a close copy of the "very peculiar" SN 2002cx, showing low peak luminosity, slow decline, high ionization near…
The Unification of Asymmetry Signatures of Type Ia Supernovae
J. R. Maund, P. A. Hoeflich, F. Patat +6
We present a compilation of the geometry measures acquired using optical and IR spectroscopy and optical spectropolarimetry to probe the explosion geometry of Type Ia SNe. Polariza…
