RoboPol: optical polarization-plane rotations and flaring activity in blazars
D. Blinov, V. Pavlidou, I. E. Papadakis +26
We present measurements of rotations of the optical polarization of blazars during the second year of operation of RoboPol, a monitoring programme of an unbiased sample of gamma-ra…
RoboPol: First season rotations of optical polarization plane in blazars
D. Blinov, V. Pavlidou, I. Papadakis +25
We present first results on polarization swings in optical emission of blazars obtained by RoboPol, a monitoring program of an unbiased sample of gamma-ray bright blazars specially…
Optical polarization map of the Polaris Flare with RoboPol
G. V. Panopoulou, K. Tassis, D. Blinov +26
The stages before the formation of stars in molecular clouds are poorly understood. Insights can be gained by studying the properties of quiescent clouds, such as their magnetic fi…
Early-time polarized optical light curve of GRB 131030A
O. G. King, D. Blinov, D. Giannios +23
We report the polarized optical light curve of a gamma-ray burst afterglow obtained using the RoboPol instrument. Observations began 655 seconds after the initial burst of gamma-ra…
30 GHz monitoring of broad absorption line (BAL) quasars
Maciej Ceglowski, Magdalena Kunert-Bajraszewska, Bogna Pazderska +1
Broad absorption line (BAL) quasars have been studied for over thirty years. Yet it is still unclear why and when we observe broad absorption lines in quasars. Is this phenomenon c…
The RoboPol optical polarization survey of gamma-ray - loud blazars
V. Pavlidou, E. Angelakis, I. Myserlis +23
We present first results from RoboPol, a novel-design optical polarimeter operating at the Skinakas Observatory in Crete. The data, taken during the May - June 2013 commissioning o…
The RoboPol Pipeline and Control System
O. G. King, D. Blinov, A. N. Ramaprakash +26
We describe the data reduction pipeline and control system for the RoboPol project. The RoboPol project is monitoring the optical -band magnitude and linear polarization of a la…
One Centimetre Receiver Array-prototype observations of the CRATES sources at 30 GHz
M. W. Peel, M. P. Gawronski, R. A. Battye +11
Knowledge of the population of radio sources in the range ~2-200 GHz is important for understanding their effects on measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background power spectrum.…
The Survey of Extragalactic Nuclear Spectral Energies
J. A. Gupta, I. W. A. Browne, B. M. Pazderska
We present the first results from the new Survey of Extragalactic Nuclear Spectral Energies (SENSE) sample of "blazars". The sample has been chosen with minimal selection effects a…
30 GHz observations of sources in the VSA fields
M. P. Gawronski, M. W. Peel, K. Lancaster +16
Small angular scale (high l) studies of cosmic microwave background anisotropies require accurate knowledge of the statistical properties of extragalactic sources at cm-mm waveleng…
Survey of Planetary Nebulae at 30 GHz with OCRA-p
B. M. Pazderska, M. P. Gawronski, R. Feiler +9
We report the results of a survey of 442 planetary nebulae at 30 GHz. The purpose of the survey is to develop a list of planetary nebulae as calibration sources which could be used…
