On the collisional disalignment of dust grains in illuminated and shaded regions of IC 63
Archana Soam, B-G Andersson, Jose Acosta-Pulido +5
Interstellar dust grain alignment causes polarization from UV to mm wavelengths, allowing the study of the geometry and strength of the magnetic field. Over last couple of decades…
DIPol-UF: simultaneous three-color () polarimeter with EM CCDs
Vilppu Piirola, Ilia A. Kosenkov, Andrei V. Berdyugin +2
We describe a new instrument capable of high precision () polarimetric observations simultaneously in three passbands (). The instrument utilizes electron-multiplied…
Probing Interstellar Grain Growth Through Polarimetry in the Taurus Cloud Complex
John E. Vaillancourt, B-G Andersson, Dan P. Clemens +4
The optical and near-infrared (OIR) polarization of starlight is typically understood to arise from the dichroic extinction of that light by dust grains whose axes are aligned with…
Orbital variability of the optical linear polarization of the -ray binary LS I +61 303 and new constraints on the orbital parameters
Vadim Kravtsov, Andrei V. Berdyugin, Vilppu Piirola +8
We studied the variability of the linear polarization and brightness of the -ray binary LS I +61 303. High-precision BVR photopolarimetric observations were carried out with the…
Disc and wind in black hole X-ray binary MAXIJ1820+070 observed through polarized light during its 2018 outburst
Ilia A. Kosenkov, Alexandra Veledina, Andrei V. Berdyugin +6
We describe the first complete polarimetric dataset of the entire outburst of a low-mass black hole X-ray binary system and discuss the constraints for geometry and radiative mecha…
High-precision polarimetry of nearby stars (d<50 pc) Mapping the interstellar dust and magnetic field inside the Local Bubble
V. Piirola, A. Berdyugin, P. C. Frisch +6
We investigate the linear polarization produced by interstellar dust aligned by the magnetic field in the solar neighborhood (d< 50 pc). We also look for intrinsic effects from cir…
