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…
RoboPol: A four-channel optical imaging polarimeter
A. N. Ramaprakash, C. V. Rajarshi, H. K. Das +30
We present the design and performance of RoboPol, a four-channel optical polarimeter operating at the Skinakas Observatory in Crete, Greece. RoboPol is capable of measuring both re…
Search for AGN counterparts of unidentified Fermi-LAT sources with optical polarimetry: Demonstration of the technique
N. Mandarakas, D. Blinov, I. Liodakis +12
The third Fermi-LAT catalog (3FGL) presented the data of the first four years of observations from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope mission. There are 3034 sources, 1010 of whic…
RoboPol: Connection between optical polarization plane rotations and gamma-ray flares in blazars
D. Blinov, V. Pavlidou, I. Papadakis +21
We use results of our 3 year polarimetric monitoring program to investigate the previously suggested connection between rotations of the polarization plane in the optical emission…
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…
Optical polarization map of the Polaris Flare with RoboPol
G. V. Panopoulou, K. Tassis, D. Blinov +26
The stages before the formation of stars in molecular clouds are poorly understood. Insights can be gained by studying the properties of quiescent clouds, such as their magnetic fi…
