Optical linear polarization measurements of quasars obtained with the Very Large Telescope at Paranal Observatory
D. Hutsemékers, B. Borguet, D. Sluse +1
We report 87 previously unpublished optical linear polarization measurements of 86 quasars obtained in May and October 2008, and from April to July 2015 with the Focal Reducer and…

Cosmic anisotropies from quasars: from polarization to structural-axis alignments
Vincent Pelgrims
The comparison of the orientations of the optical-polarization vectors of quasars that are separated by billions of light-years has led to the discovery that they are aligned inste…

Evidence for the alignment of quasar radio polarizations with large quasar group axes
Vincent Pelgrims, Damien Hutsemékers
Recently, evidence has been presented for the polarization vectors from quasars to preferentially align with the axes of the large quasar groups (LQG) to which they belong. This re…
