Circular polarization in the optical afterglow of GRB 121024A
K. Wiersema, S. Covino, K. Toma +37
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are most probably powered by collimated relativistic outflows (jets) from accreting black holes at cosmological distances. Bright afterglows are produced wh…
Imaging the circumstellar environment of the young T Tauri star SU Aurigae
S. V. Jeffers, M. Min, H. Canovas +2
The circumstellar environments of classical T Tauri stars are challenging to directly image because of their high star-to-disk contrast ratio. One method to overcome this is by usi…
The color dependent morphology of the post-AGB star HD161796
M. Min, S. V. Jeffers, H. Canovas +3
Context. Many protoplanetary nebulae show strong asymmetries in their surrounding shell, pointing to asymmetries during the mass loss phase. Questions concerning the origin and the…
The Extreme Polarimeter: Design, Performance, First Results & Upgrades
M. Rodenhuis, H. Canovas, S. V. Jeffers +4
Well over 700 exoplanets have been detected to date. Only a handful of these have been observed directly. Direct observation is extremely challenging due to the small separation an…
Evidence for the disintegration of KIC 12557548 b
M. Brogi, C. U. Keller, M. de Juan Ovelar +4
Context. The Kepler object KIC 12557548 b is peculiar. It exhibits transit-like features every 15.7 hours that vary in depth between 0.2% and 1.2%. Rappaport et al. (2012) explain…
Constraining the Circumbinary Envelope of Z CMa via imaging polarimetry
H. Canovas, M. Min, S. V. Jeffers +2
Z CMa is a complex binary system, composed of a Herbig Be and an FU Ori star. The Herbig star is surrounded by a dust cocoon of variable geometry, and the whole system is surrounde…
