Zero-polarization candidate regions for calibration of wide-field optical polarimeters
N. Mandarakas, G. V. Panopoulou, V. Pelgrims +14
Context. Calibration of optical polarimeters relies on the use of stars with negligible polarization (unpolarized standard stars) for determining the instrumental polarization zero…
The RoboPol sample of optical polarimetric standards
D. Blinov, S. Maharana, F. Bouzelou +34
Optical polarimeters are typically calibrated using measurements of stars with known and stable polarization parameters. However, there is a lack of such stars available across the…
Bright-Moon Sky as a Wide-Field Linear Polarimetric Flat Source for Calibration
S. Maharana, S. Kiehlmann, D. Blinov +20
Next-generation wide-field optical polarimeters like the Wide-Area Linear Optical Polarimeters (WALOPs) have a field of view (FoV) of tens of arcminutes. For efficient and accurate…
