What can cosmic-ray knees reveal about source populations?
Myrto Falalaki, Vasiliki Pavlidou
Cosmic ray (CR) knees (spectral steepenings) encode information on CR accelerator populations. We seek population features that imprint onto knee observables in a manner that is ro…
TRIShUL: Technique for Reconstructing magnetic Interstellar Structure Using starLight polarization
Namita Uppal, Konstantinos Tassis, Vasiliki Pavlidou +2
We present a novel technique to decompose line-of-sight (LOS) stellar polarization as a function of distance, aimed at reconstructing three dimensional (3D) plane-of-sky (POS) magn…
Wide Area Linear Optical Polarimeter Control Software
John A. Kypriotakis, Bhushan Joshi, Dmitry Blinov +19
The WALOPControl software is designed to facilitate comprehensive control and operation of the WALOP (Wide Area Linear Optical Polarimeter) polarimeters, ensuring safe and concurre…
Systems design, assembly, integration and lab testing of WALOP-South Polarimeter
Siddharth Maharana, A. N. Ramaprakash, Chaitanya Rajarshi +28
Wide-Area Linear Optical Polarimeter (WALOP)-South is the first wide-field and survey-capacity polarimeter in the optical wavelengths. On schedule for commissioning in 2024, it wil…
The first degree-scale starlight-polarization-based tomography map of the magnetized interstellar medium
V. Pelgrims, N. Mandarakas, R. Skalidis +21
We present the first degree-scale tomography map of the dusty magnetized interstellar medium (ISM) from stellar polarimetry and distance measurements. We used the RoboPol polarimet…
