Into the third dimension: stochastic measurements of Stokes parameters within the Poincaré sphere
Jason L. Quinn
Inspired by recent use of polarimetry to study the Cosmic Microwave Background and extragalatic supernovae, a foray into the statistical properties of Stokes parameters expressed i…
Bayesian analysis of polarization measurements
Jason L. Quinn
A detailed and formal account of polarization measurements using Bayesian analysis is given based on the assumption of gaussian error for the Stokes parameters. This analysis is cr…
A spectropolarimetric view on the nature of the peculiar Type I SN 2005hk
J. R. Maund, J. C. Wheeler, L. Wang +6
We report two spectropolarimetric observations of SN 2005hk, which is a close copy of the "very peculiar" SN 2002cx, showing low peak luminosity, slow decline, high ionization near…
The Unification of Asymmetry Signatures of Type Ia Supernovae
J. R. Maund, P. A. Hoeflich, F. Patat +6
We present a compilation of the geometry measures acquired using optical and IR spectroscopy and optical spectropolarimetry to probe the explosion geometry of Type Ia SNe. Polariza…
A Light Echo from Type Ia Supernova 1995E?
J. L. Quinn, P. M. Garnavich, W. Li +4
We identify a light echo candidate from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of NGC 2441, the host galaxy of the Type Ia supernova 1995E. From the echo's angular size and the estim…
The unusual optical afterglow of the gamma-ray burst GRB 021004: Color changes and short-time-scale variability
D. Bersier, K. Z. Stanek, J. Winn +11
We report UBVRI observations of the optical afterglow of the gamma-ray burst GRB 021004. We observed significant (10-20%) deviations from a power law decay on several time scales,…
Confirmation of SBS 1150+599A As An Extremely Metal-Poor Planetary Nebula
George Jacoby, John Feldmeier, Charles F. Claver +4
SBS 1150+599A is a blue stellar object at high galactic latitude discovered in the Second Byurakan Survey. New high-resolution images of SBS 1150+599A are presented, demonstrating…
Rapid UBVRI Follow-up of the Highly Collimated Optical Afterglow of GRB010222
K. Z. Stanek, P. M. Garnavich, S. Jha +6
(Abridged) We present the earliest optical observations of the optical counterpart to the GRB 010222, obtained with the FLWO 1.2-m telescope in UBVRI passbands, starting 3.64 hours…
