Mapping the Interstellar Magnetic Field Around the Heliosphere with Polarized Starlight
P. C. Frisch, A. B. Berdyugin, V. Piirola +20
Starlight that becomes linearly polarized by magnetically aligned dust grains provides a viable diagnostic of the interstellar magnetic field (ISMF). A survey is underway to map th…
Charting the Interstellar Magnetic Field causing the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) Ribbon of Energetic Neutral Atoms
P. C. Frisch, A. Berdyugin, V. Piirola +10
The interstellar magnetic field (ISMF) near the heliosphere is a basic part of the solar neighborhood that can only be studied using polarized starlight. Results of an ongoing surv…
Connecting the interstellar magnetic field at the heliosphere to the Loop I superbubble
P. C. Frisch, A. Berdyugin, H. O. Funsten +6
The local interstellar magnetic field affects both the heliosphere and the surrounding cluster of interstellar clouds (CLIC). Measurements of linearly polarized starlight provide t…
Planck intermediate results. XIX. An overview of the polarized thermal emission from Galactic dust
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +199
This paper presents the large-scale polarized sky as seen by Planck HFI at 353 GHz, which is the most sensitive Planck channel for dust polarization. We construct and analyse large…
The Interstellar Magnetic Field Close to the Sun II
P. C. Frisch, B-G Andersson, A. Berdyugin +9
A key indicator of the galactic environment of the Sun is provided by the magnetic field in the interstellar medium (ISM), which influences the shape of the heliosphere. The direct…
SPARC4: A Simultaneous Polarimeter and Rapid Camera in 4 Bands
C. V. Rodrigues, F. J. Jablonski, K. Taylor +13
We present the basic concept of a new astronomical instrument: SPARC4 - Simultaneous Polarimeter and Rapid Camera in 4 bands. SPARC4 combines in one instrument: (i) photometric and…
