Implications of High Polarization Degree for the Surface State of Ryugu
Daisuke Kuroda, Jooyeon Geem, Hiroshi Akitaya +19
The asteroid exploration project "Hayabusa2" has successfully returned samples from the asteroid (162173) Ryugu. In this study, we measured the linear polarization degrees of Ryugu…
Triple Range Imager and POLarimeter (TRIPOL) --- A Compact and Economical Optical Imaging Polarimeter for Small Telescopes
S. Sato, P. C. Huang, W. P. Chen +6
We report the design concept and performance of a compact, light-weight, and economic imaging polarimeter, TRIPOL (the Triple Range Imager and POLarimeter), capable of simultaneous…
Near-IR Imaging Polarimetry toward a Bright-Rimmed Cloud: Magnetic Field in SFO 74
Takayoshi Kusune, Koji Sugitani, Jingqi Miao +7
We have made near-infrared (JHKs) imaging polarimetry of a bright-rimmed cloud (SFO 74). The polarization vector maps clearly show that the magnetic field in the layer just behind…
Extremely high polarization in 2010 outburst of blazar 3C 454.3
Mahito Sasada, Makoto Uemura, Yasushi Fukazawa +16
The gamma-ray-detected blazar 3C 454.3 exhibits dramatic flux and polarization variations in the optical and near-infrared bands. In December 2010, the object emitted a very bright…
Magnetically Confined Interstellar Hot Plasma in the Nuclear Bulge of our Galaxy
Shogo Nishiyama, Kazuki Yasui, Tetsuya Nagata +9
The origin of the Galactic center diffuse X-ray emission (GCDX) is still under intense investigation. In particular, the interpretation of the hot (kT ~ 7 keV) component of the GCD…
The efficiency and wavelength dependence of near-infrared interstellar polarization toward the Galactic center
Hirofumi Hatano, Shogo Nishiyama, Mikio Kurita +10
Near-infrared polarimetric imaging observations toward the Galactic center have been carried out to examine the efficiency and wavelength dependence of interstellar polarization. A…
