Tracking down the broadband polarimetric properties of PG 1553+113
Riccardo Middei, Svetlana G. Jorstad, Alan P. Marscher +78
We report on a nine-month monitoring campaign of the blazar PG 1553+113, relying on three observations carried out in 2025 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and su…
The IXPE and multifrequency polarimetric view of the extreme blazars 1ES 1101-232 and RGB J0710+591
Fabrizio Tavecchio, Dawoon E. Kim, Gabriel Emery +53
Multiwavelength polarimetry is a powerful tool to probe magnetic field and flow geometries in the relativistic jets of blazars. In this respect, particularly interesting are the so…
One-week optical observations of pulsed emission from the Crab pulsar with IMONY on the 3.8 m Seimei telescope
Kazuaki Hashiyama, Takeshi Nakamori, Anju Sato +13
We report our optical observations of the Crab pulsar using the Imager of MPPC-based Optical photoN counter from Yamagata (IMONY), a high-time-resolution photon-counting imager wit…
Dust Properties of the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Revealed by Optical and Near-Infrared Polarimetry
Seungwon Choi, Masateru Ishiguro, Jun Takahashi +17
We present independent polarimetric observations of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, including the first near-infrared polarimetric measurements. Using imaging polarimeters, we me…
Near-infrared [P II] and [Fe II] line mapping of Galactic supernova remnants
Takuma Kokusho, Yuki Katsurada, Yong-Hyun Lee +7
Phosphorus (P) is one of the key ingredients for life, yet its origins in galaxies remain poorly understood. In order to investigate the production of P by supernovae, we performed…
Multiband Optical Photometric and Spectroscopic Monitoring of the 2024 Flare Event in Transition Blazar OP313
TianFang Zhang, Mitsuru Kokubo, Mamoru Doi +19
Blazars are active galactic nuclei known for their extreme variability, offering unique opportunities to study jet physics and high-energy emission mechanisms. In 2024, the Flat Sp…
