Commissioning and on-sky performance of FiberPol: a fiber-fed spectropolarimetric system for the SAAO 1.9 m telescope
Siddharth Maharana, K. C. J. Dennison-Farrar, Sabyasachi Chattopadhyay +8
At the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO), we have developed FiberPol a spectropolarimetric front-end for the SpUpNIC spectrograph on the 1.9 m telescope fed by fiber…
Systems design, assembly, integration and lab testing of WALOP-South Polarimeter
Siddharth Maharana, A. N. Ramaprakash, Chaitanya Rajarshi +28
Wide-Area Linear Optical Polarimeter (WALOP)-South is the first wide-field and survey-capacity polarimeter in the optical wavelengths. On schedule for commissioning in 2024, it wil…
Optical spectroscopic and photometric classification of the X-ray transient EP240309a (EP J115415.8-501810) as an intermediate polar
Stephen. B. Potter, David A. H. Buckley, S. Scaringi +13
We report on optical follow-up observations of an X-ray source initially detected by the Einstein Probe mission. Our investigations categorize the source as an intermediate polar,…
First science with SALT: peering at the accreting polar caps of the eclipsing polar SDSS J015543.40+002807.2
D. O'Donoghue, D. A. H. Buckley, L. A. Balona +48
We describe briefly the properties of the recently completed Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), along with its first light imager SALTICAM. Using this instrument, we present…
