Turnaround radius of galaxy clusters in N-body simulations

Giorgos Korkidis, Vasiliki Pavlidou, Konstantinos Tassis +3

We use N-body simulations to examine whether a characteristic turnaround radius, as predicted from the spherical collapse model in a Universe, can be meaningfully iden…

SOFIA/HAWC+ traces the magnetic fields in NGC 1068

E. Lopez-Rodriguez, C. D. Dowell, T. J. Jones +21

We report the first detection of galactic spiral structure by means of thermal emission from magnetically aligned dust grains. Our 89 m polarimetric imaging of NGC 1068 with the…

The far-infrared polarization spectrum of Rho Ophiuchi A from HAWC+/SOFIA observations

Fabio P. Santos, David T. Chuss, C. Darren Dowell +23

We report on polarimetric maps made with HAWC+/SOFIA toward Rho Oph A, the densest portion of the Rho Ophiuchi molecular complex. We employed HAWC+ bands C (89 m) and D (154 …

Extreme Starlight Polarization in a Region with Highly Polarized Dust Emission

G. V. Panopoulou, B. S. Hensley, R. Skalidis +2

Galactic dust emission is polarized at unexpectedly high levels, as revealed by Planck. The origin of the observed polarization fractions can be identified by charact…

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…
