Constraints on magnetic field and particle content in blazar jets through optical circular polarization
I. Liodakis, D. Blinov, S. B. Potter +1
Polarization offers a unique view in the physical processes of astrophysical jets. We report on optical circular polarization observations of two famous blazars, namely 3C 279 and…
SMILE: Search for MIlli-LEnses
C. Casadio, D. Blinov, A. C. S. Readhead +17
Dark Matter (DM) halos with masses below , which would help to discriminate between DM models, may be detected through their gravitational effect on distant…
Repeated pattern of gamma-ray flares in the lightcurve of the blazar 3C 279
D. Blinov, S. G. Jorstad, V. M. Larionov +10
The optical polarization plane of some blazars occasionally exhibits smooth hundred degree long rotations. Multiple theoretical models have been proposed to explain the nature of s…
The Time-Dependent Distribution of Optical Polarization Angle Changes in Blazars
S. Kiehlmann, D. Blinov, I. Liodakis +17
At optical wavelengths, blazar Electric Vector Position Angle (EVPA) rotations linked with gamma-ray activity have been the subject of intense interest and systematic investigation…
WALOP-South: A Four Camera One Shot Imaging Polarimeter for PASIPHAE Survey. Paper I -- Optical Design
Siddharth Maharana, John A. Kypriotakis, A. N. Ramaprakash +17
The WALOP-South instrument will be mounted on the 1 m SAAO telescope in South Africa as part of the PASIPHAE program to carry out a linear imaging polarization survey of the Galact…
Parameters of the type-IIP supernova SN 2012aw
A. A. Nikiforova, P. V. Baklanov, S. I. Blinnikov +7
We present the results the photometric observations of the Type IIP supernova SN 2012aw obtained for the time interval from 7 till 371 days after the explosion. Using the previousl…
