Spectro-Polarimetric Observations of TeV Sources (SPOTS): First results
J. Barnard, B. van Soelen, I. P. van der Westhuizen +5
Blazars are jetted active galactic nuclei, with the jet aligned along the observer's line of sight. Their spectral energy distributions are dominated by non-thermal emission, with…

The optical spectropolarimetric behaviour of a selection of high-energy blazars
J. Barnard, B. van Soelen, S. Acharya +8
At optical/ultraviolet energies, blazars display an underlying thermal (unpolarized) contribution from the accretion disc, torus and line emitting regions, diluting the polarized e…
