Multi-Wavelength Post-Perihelion Polarimetry of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
Zuri Gray, Galin Borisov, Ludmilla Kolokolova +15
We present new post-perihelion polarimetric observations of the third discovered interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1; hereafter 3I), obtained using FORS2 at the Very Large Tel…
Detection of a weak magnetic field in the Balmer emission line white dwarf WDJ1653-1001
Abbigail Elms, Stefano Bagnulo, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +8
The small DAHe and DAe spectral classes comprise isolated, hydrogen-dominated atmosphere white dwarfs that exhibit variable photometric flux and Balmer line emission. These mysteri…
Polarimetry and albedo of the Near-Earth Asteroid 2025 FA22
J. -P. Rivet, S. Bagnulo, P. Bendjoya +17
We report spectropolarimetric and broadband polarimetric observations of the near-Earth asteroid 2025 FA22 during its close approach of 18 September 2025 (about two Moon distances)…
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…
Rapid-response characterization of near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 during a Torino Scale 3 alert
Maxime Devogèle, Olivier R. Hainaut, Marco Micheli +32
On 27 December 2024, near-Earth object (NEO) 2024 YR was discovered by the ATLAS survey and identified as a virtual impactor. A few weeks later, it eventually reached level 3 o…
JWST detection of a carbon dioxide dominated gas coma surrounding interstellar object 3I/ATLAS
Martin A. Cordiner, Nathaniel X. Roth, Michael S. P. Kelley +10
3I/ATLAS is the third confirmed interstellar object to visit our Solar System, and only the second to display a clear coma. Infrared spectroscopy with the James Webb Space Telescop…
Extreme Negative Polarisation of New Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
Zuri Gray, Stefano Bagnulo, Galin Borisov +13
We present the first polarimetric observations of the third discovered interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1), obtained pre-perihelion with FORS2/VLT, ALFOSC/NOT, and FoReRo2/RC…
Discovery of magnetic fields in five DC white dwarfs
Andrei V. Berdyugin, Vilppu Piirola, Stefano Bagnulo +2
About half of white dwarfs (WDs) evolve to the DC state as they cool; the others become DQ or (temporarily?) DZ WDs. The recent magnetic survey of the local 20 pc volume has establ…
Highly sensitive search for magnetic fields in white dwarfs using broad-band circular polarimetry
Andrei V. Berdyugin, Vilppu Piirola, Stefano Bagnulo +2
Circular polarisation measurements of white dwarfs of various ages and spectral types are useful to understand the origin and evolution of the magnetic field in degenerate stars. I…
Polarimetry of comets 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, 74P/Smirnova-Chernykh, and 152P/Helin-Lawrence
A. Stinson, S. Bagnulo, G. P. Tozzi +5
Aims. Polarimetric characteristics of comets at large heliocentric distances is a relatively unexplored area; we extend the idea by adding and analysing the data for three Jupiter…
Broadband Linear Polarization of Jupiter Trojans
S. Bagnulo, I. N. Belskaya, A. Stinson +2
Trojan asteroids orbit in the Lagrange points of the system Sun-planet-asteroid. Their dynamical stability make their physical properties important proxies for the early evolution…
