The wavelength dependence of interstellar polarization in the Local Hot Bubble
Daniel V. Cotton, Jonathan P. Marshall, Priscilla C. Frisch +6
The properties of dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) nearest the Sun are poorly understood because the low column densities of dust toward nearby stars induce little photometric…
The polarization of the planet-hosting WASP-18 system
Kimberly Bott, Jeremy Bailey, Daniel V. Cotton +3
We report observations of the linear polarization of the WASP-18 system, which harbors a very massive ( approx 10 M_J) planet orbiting very close to its star with an orbital period…
The Rotationally Modulated Polarization of Boo A
Daniel V. Cotton, Dag Evensberget, Stephen C. Marsden +9
We have observed the active star Boo A (HD 131156A) with high precision broadband linear polarimetry contemporaneously with circular spectropolarimetry. We find both signals ar…
Mapping the Interstellar Magnetic Field Around the Heliosphere with Polarized Starlight
P. C. Frisch, A. B. Berdyugin, V. Piirola +20
Starlight that becomes linearly polarized by magnetically aligned dust grains provides a viable diagnostic of the interstellar magnetic field (ISMF). A survey is underway to map th…
Polarization due to rotational distortion in the bright star Regulus
Daniel V. Cotton, Jeremy Bailey, Ian D. Howarth +4
Polarization in stars was first predicted by Chandrasekhar [1] who calculated a substantial linear polarization at the stellar limb for a pure electron-scattering atmosphere. This…
