Polarimetric and spectropolarimetric observations with FoReRo2: Instrument overview and standard star monitoring
Yanko Nikolov, Galin Borisov, Stefano Bagnulo +3
In this paper, we present a description and characterisation of the 2-Channel Focal Reducer Rozhen (FoReRo2), with an emphasis on its polarimetric and spectropolarimetric observati…
Mass outflow from the symbiotic binary RS Oph during its 2021 outburst
N. A. Tomov, M. T. Tomova, K. A. Stoyanov +7
RS Oph is a symbiotic recurrent nova containing a massive white dwarf with heavy mass loss during activity. In August 2021, it underwent its seventh optical eruption since the end…
Polarimetry of M-type asteroids in the context of their surface composition
I. Belskaya, A. Berdyugin, Yu. Krugly +9
Aims. We aim to investigate how polarimetric observations can improve our understanding of the nature and diversity of M/X-type asteroids. Methods. Polarimetric observations of the…
Rotation acceleration of asteroids (10115) 1992 SK, (1685) Toro, and (1620) Geographos due to the YORP effect
J. Durech, D. Vokrouhlicky, P. Pravec +28
The rotation state of small asteroids is affected by the Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect, which is a net torque caused by solar radiation directly reflected and…
H-alpha spectroscopy of the recurrent nova RS Oph during the 2021 outburst
R. K. Zamanov, K. A. Stoyanov, Y. M. Nikolov +3
We report spectroscopic observations of the emission line of the recurrent nova RS~Oph obtained between 12 and 23 August 2021 during the recent outburst. On the basis of the s…
Rotational variation of the linear polarisation of the asteroid (3200) Phaethon as evidence for inhomogeneity in its surface properties
G. Borisov, M. Devogèle, A. Cellino +23
Asteroid (3200) Phaethon is a Near-Earth Apollo asteroid with an unusual orbit that brings it closer to the Sun than any other known asteroid. Its last close approach to the Earth…
