Small telescopes being effective: MAGIC or not?
Victor L. Afanasiev, Eugene A. Malygin, Elena S. Shablovinskaya +4
The paper describes the MAGIC multi-mode focal reducer (Monitoring of Active Galaxies by Investigation of their Cores), commissioned on the 1-m Zeiss-1000 telescope of the Special…
Universal focal reducer for small telescopes
V. L. Afanasiev, V. R. Amirkhanyan, R. I. Uklein +4
This paper is devoted to the memory of Dr. Victor Afanasiev and his immense legacy. The report highlights the capabilities of two new instruments tested at the 1-meter Zeiss-1000 t…
Stokes-polarimeter for 1-meter telescope
Victor Afanasiev, Elena Shablovinskaya, Roman Uklein +1
We present the "StoP" photometer-polarimeter (Stokes-polarimeter) used for observations with the 1-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sc…
IFU Unit in SCORPIO-2 Focal Reducer for Integral-Field Spectroscopy on the 6-m Telescope of the SAO RAS
V. L. Afanasiev, O. V. Egorov, A. E. Perepelitsyn
We describe the scheme and design features of the new IFU unit (Integral Field Unit) meant to perform integral-field spectroscopy as a part of SCORPIO-2 focal reducer, which is mou…
Black hole mass measurements in AGN: Polarization in broad emission lines
Luka C. Popovic, Victor L. Afanasiev, Djordje Savic
We present a new method for supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass measurements in Type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGN) using polarization angle across broad lines. This method gives m…
SCORPIO-2 Guiding and Calibration System in the Prime Focus of the 6-m Telescope
Victor L. Afanasiev, Vladimir R. Amirkhanyan, Alexei V. Moiseev +2
We describe a device (adapter) for off-axis guiding and photometric calibration of wide-angle spectrographs operating in the prime focus of the 6-m telescope of the Special Astroph…
