RoboPol: A four-channel optical imaging polarimeter

A. N. Ramaprakash, C. V. Rajarshi, H. K. Das +30

We present the design and performance of RoboPol, a four-channel optical polarimeter operating at the Skinakas Observatory in Crete, Greece. RoboPol is capable of measuring both re…

RoboPol: Connection between optical polarization plane rotations and gamma-ray flares in blazars

D. Blinov, V. Pavlidou, I. Papadakis +21

We use results of our 3 year polarimetric monitoring program to investigate the previously suggested connection between rotations of the polarization plane in the optical emission…

Fibre-optic delivery of time and frequency to VLBI station

P. Krehlik, Ł. Buczek, J. Kołodziej +18

The quality of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) radio observations predominantly relies on precise and ultra-stable time and frequency (T&F) standards, usually hydrogen mas…

RoboPol: The optical polarization of gamma-ray--loud and gamma-ray--quiet blazars

E. Angelakis, T. Hovatta, D. Blinov +25

We present average R-band optopolarimetric data, as well as variability parameters, from the first and second RoboPol observing season. We investigate whether gamma- ray--loud and…

RoboPol: Do optical polarization rotations occur in all blazars?

D. Blinov, V. Pavlidou, I. Papadakis +23

We present a new set of optical polarization plane rotations in blazars, observed during the third year of operation of RoboPol. The entire set of rotation events discovered during…

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…
