VSTPOL: making the VST a large survey telescope for optical polarimetry
P. Schipani, S. Covino, F. Snik +30
Since the start of operations in 2011, the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) has been one of the most efficient wide-field imagers in the optical bands. However, in the next years the Ver…
Polarimetry of the potential binary supermassive black hole system in J1430+2303
F. Marin, D. Hutsemékers, I. Liodakis +6
The growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) through merging has long been predicted but its detection remains elusive. However, a promising target has been discovered in the Sey…
The N Production Rate in Comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS)
Sarah E. Anderson, Philippe Rousselot, Benoît Noyelles +4
Observations of comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS) have revealed exceptionally bright emission bands of N, the strongest ever observed in a comet spectrum. Alternatively, it appears…
Photometry and high-resolution spectroscopy of comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner during its 2018 apparition
Y. Moulane, E. Jehin, P. Rousselot +7
We report on photometry and high resolution spectroscopy of the chemically peculiar Jupiter-family Comet (hereafter JFC) 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. Comet 21P is a well known member of t…
Tracking the state transitions in changing-look active galactic nuclei through their polarized-light echoes
F. Marin, D. Hutsemékers
Context: Variations in the mass accretion rate appear to be responsible for the rapid transitions in spectral type that are observed in increasingly more active galactic nuclei (AG…
Astro2020 Science White Paper - Quasar Microlensing: Revolutionizing our Understanding of Quasar Structure and Dynamics
Leonidas Moustakas, Matthew O'Dowd, Timo Anguita +20
Microlensing by stars within distant galaxies acting as strong gravitational lenses of multiply-imaged quasars, provides a unique and direct measurement of the internal structure o…
