RoboPol: A four-channel optical imaging polarimeter
A. N. Ramaprakash, C. V. Rajarshi, H. K. Das +30
We present the design and performance of RoboPol, a four-channel optical polarimeter operating at the Skinakas Observatory in Crete, Greece. RoboPol is capable of measuring both re…
Scalable Platform for Adaptive optics Real-time Control (SPARC) Part 1: Concept, Architecture and Validation
Avinash Surendran, Mahesh P. Burse, A. N. Ramaprakash +3
We demonstrate a novel architecture for Adaptive Optics (AO) control based on FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays), making active use of their configurable parallel processing ca…
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…
RoboPol: First season rotations of optical polarization plane in blazars
D. Blinov, V. Pavlidou, I. Papadakis +25
We present first results on polarization swings in optical emission of blazars obtained by RoboPol, a monitoring program of an unbiased sample of gamma-ray bright blazars specially…
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…
Know The Star, Know the Planet. IV. A Stellar Companion to the Host star of the Eccentric Exoplanet HD 8673b
Lewis C. Roberts, Brian D. Mason, Christopher R. Neyman +28
HD 8673 hosts a massive exoplanet in a highly eccentric orbit (e=0.723). Based on two epochs of speckle interferometry a previous publication identified a candidate stellar compani…
