Robopol: Optical polarisation monitoring of blazars
Emmanouil Angelakis, Dmitry Blinov, Markus Böttcher +5
The RoboPol program has been monitoring the -band linear polarisation parameters of an unbiased sample of 60 gamma-ray-loud blazars and a "control" sample of 15 gamma-ray-quite…
RoboPol: The optical polarization of gamma-ray--loud and gamma-ray--quiet blazars
E. Angelakis, T. Hovatta, D. Blinov +25
We present average R-band optopolarimetric data, as well as variability parameters, from the first and second RoboPol observing season. We investigate whether gamma- ray--loud and…
Optical polarization of high-energy BL Lac objects
T. Hovatta, E. Lindfors, D. Blinov +9
We investigate the optical polarization properties of high-energy BL Lac objects using data from the RoboPol blazar monitoring program and the Nordic Optical Telescope. We wish to…
RoboPol: Do optical polarization rotations occur in all blazars?
D. Blinov, V. Pavlidou, I. Papadakis +23
We present a new set of optical polarization plane rotations in blazars, observed during the third year of operation of RoboPol. The entire set of rotation events discovered during…
Polarization angle swings in blazars: The case of 3C 279
S. Kiehlmann, T. Savolainen, S. G. Jorstad +61
Over the past few years, several occasions of large, continuous rotations of the electric vector position angle (EVPA) of linearly polarized optical emission from blazars have been…
RoboPol: optical polarization-plane rotations and flaring activity in blazars
D. Blinov, V. Pavlidou, I. E. Papadakis +26
We present measurements of rotations of the optical polarization of blazars during the second year of operation of RoboPol, a monitoring programme of an unbiased sample of gamma-ra…
