The WALOP-North Instrument I: Optical Design, Filter Design, Calibration
John A. Kypriotakis, Siddharth Maharana, Ramya M. Anche +18
The Wide Area Linear Optical Polarimeter North (WALOP-North) is an optical polarimeter designed for the needs of the PASIPHAE survey. It will be installed on the 1.3m telescope at…
Improving polarimetric accuracy of RoboPol to 0.05 % using a half-wave plate calibrator system
Siddharth Maharana, Dmitry Blinov, A. N. Ramaprakash +2
RoboPol is a four-channel, one-shot linear optical polarimeter that has been successfully operating since 2013 on the 1.3 m telescope at Skinakas Observatory in Crete, Greece. Usin…
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…
FiberPol-6D: Spectropolarimetric Integral Field mode for the SAAO 1.9 m Telescope using fibers
Siddharth Maharana, Sabyasachi Chattopadhyay, Matthew Bershady
Most optical spectropolarimeters built to date operate as long-slit or point-source instruments; they are inefficient for observations of extended objects such as galaxies and nebu…
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…
Spectropolarimeter on a 2--4 m class telescope and proposed science cases
Archana Soam, Siddharth Maharana, B-G Andersson +1
We propose a spectropolarimeter a covering wavelength range of 3200--7000 Å [3200Å chosen as lower limit to go to the atmospheric cut-off. It's ``needed" for some Serkowski curves…
