WALOP-South: A Four-Camera One-Shot Imaging Polarimeter for PASIPHAE Survey. Paper II -- Polarimetric Modelling and Calibration
Siddharth Maharana, Ramya M. Anche, A. N. Ramaprakash +22
The Wide-Area Linear Optical Polarimeter (WALOP)-South instrument is an upcoming wide-field and high-accuracy optical polarimeter to be used as a survey instrument for carrying out…
Optical polarization from colliding stellar stream shocks in a tidal disruption event
I. Liodakis, K. I. I. Koljonen, D. Blinov +9
A tidal disruption event (TDE) occurs when a supermassive black hole rips apart a passing star. Part of the stellar material falls toward the black hole, forming an accretion disk…
Polarized x-rays constrain the disk-jet geometry in the black hole x-ray binary Cygnus X-1
Henric Krawczynski, Fabio Muleri, Michal Dovčiak +111
A black hole x-ray binary (XRB) system forms when gas is stripped from a normal star and accretes onto a black hole, which heats the gas sufficiently to emit x-rays. We report a po…
