New Insights into the Quasar Type1/Type2 Dichotomy from Correlations between Quasar Host Orientation and Polarization
B. Borguet, D. Hutsemékers, G. Letawe +2
We investigate correlations between the direction of the optical linear polarization and the orientation of the host galaxy/extended emission for type1 and type2 radio-loud and rad…
Quasar Host Orientation and Polarization: Insights into the Type 1/Type 2 Dichotomy
B. Borguet, D. Hutsemékers, G. Letawe +2
We investigate correlations between the optical linear polarization position angle and the orientation of the host galaxy/extended emission of Type 1 and Type 2 Radio-Loud (RL) and…
DECPHOT: an optimal deconvolution-based photometric reduction method
M. Gillon, P. Magain, V. Chantry +5
A high accuracy photometric reduction method is needed to take full advantage of the potential of the transit method for the detection and characterization of exoplanets, especiall…
Discovery of a bright quasar without a massive host galaxy
Pierre Magain, Geraldine Letawe, Frederic Courbin +4
Quasars are thought to be powered by the infall of matter onto a supermassive black hole at the centre of massive galaxies. As the optical luminosity of quasars exceeds that of the…
An optical time delay for the double gravitational lens system FBQ 0951+2635
P. Jakobsson, J. Hjorth, I. Burud +3
We present optical R-band light curves of the double gravitationally lensed quasar FBQ 0951+2635 from observations obtained at the Nordic Optical Telescope between March 1999 and J…
