Near-infrared Hubble Space Telescope polarimetry of a complete sample of narrow-line radio galaxies

E. A. Ramírez, C. N. Tadhunter, D. Axon +5

We present an analysis of 2.05 m Hubble Space Telescope (HST) polarimetric data for a sample of 13 nearby Fanaroff-Riley type II (FRII) 3CR radio sources () that ar…

Estimations of the magnetic field strength in the torus of AGN using near-infrared polarimetry

E. Lopez-Rodriguez, C. Packham, S. Young +7

An optically and geometrically thick torus obscures the central engine of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) from some lines of sight. From a magnetohydrodynamical framework, the torus c…

Torus and AGN properties of nearby Seyfert galaxies: Results from fitting IR spectral energy distributions and spectroscopy

Almudena Alonso-Herrero, Cristina Ramos Almeida, Rachel Mason +9

We used the CLUMPY torus models and a Bayesian approach to fit the infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and ground-based high-angular resolution mid-infrared spectroscopy…

Nicmos Polarimetry of "Polar Scattered" Seyfert 1 Galaxies

D. Batcheldor, A. Robinson, D. J. Axon +5

The nuclei of Seyfert 1 galaxies exhibit a range of optical polarization characteristics that can be understood in terms of two scattering regions producing orthogonal polarization…

Spectropolarimetric evidence for a kicked supermassive black hole in the Quasar E1821+643

Andrew Robinson, Stuart Young, David J. Axon +2

We report spectropolarimetric observations of the quasar E1821+643 (z=0.297), which suggest that it may be an example of gravitational recoil due to anisotropic emission of gravita…

The Nature of the Near-IR Core Source in 3C 433

Edgar A. Ramirez, C. N. Tadhunter, D. Axon +4

We report the analysis of near-infrared imaging, polarimetric and spectroscopic observations of the powerful radio galaxy 3C433, obtained with the HST and UKIRT telescopes. The hig…
