The first degree-scale starlight-polarization-based tomography map of the magnetized interstellar medium

V. Pelgrims, N. Mandarakas, R. Skalidis +21

We present the first degree-scale tomography map of the dusty magnetized interstellar medium (ISM) from stellar polarimetry and distance measurements. We used the RoboPol polarimet…

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…

Development of a scalable generic platform for adaptive optics real time control

Avinash Surendran, Mahesh P. Burse, A. N. Ramaprakash +1

The main objective of the present project is to explore the viability of an adaptive optics control system based exclusively on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), making stron…

Optical polarization map of the Polaris Flare with RoboPol

G. V. Panopoulou, K. Tassis, D. Blinov +26

The stages before the formation of stars in molecular clouds are poorly understood. Insights can be gained by studying the properties of quiescent clouds, such as their magnetic fi…
