Investigating Circumstellar Disk Geometry and Dust Properties with Coronagraphic Polarimetry
Abstract. High-angular resolution coronagraphy and imaging polarimetry have both proved to be valuable tools for studying the properties of circumstellar disks around young stars, but only recently has it become possible to combine these techniques together. Coronagraphic polarimetry observations, obtainable with ACS and NICMOS on Hubble, and some adaptive-optics-corrected telescopes on the gro...
متن کاملCircumstellar masers
Circumstellar masers are unique tools for probing the envelopes around low mass dying stars using VLBI. In this contribution I briefly review the status of our knowledge on these emissions, especially focusing on the latest results obtained by means of VLBI observations. I also outline some of the new windows that will open for VLBI maser research thanks to the upcoming new instrumentation.
متن کاملPolarimetry in the Visible and Infrared: Application to CMB Polarimetry
Interstellar polarization from aligned dust grains can be measured both in transmission at visible and near-infrared wavelengths and in emission at far-infrared and sub-mm wavelengths. These observations can help predict the behavior of foreground contamination of CMB polarimetry by dust in the Milky Way. Fractional polarization in emission from aligned dust grains will be at the higher range o...
متن کاملPolarimetry of Binary Stars
Astronomical polarimetry is a powerful technique that can provide physical information sometimes difficult or impossible to obtain by any other type of observation. Almost every class of binary star can benefit from polarimetric observations: pre-main-sequence objects, close or contact binaries, mass-transfer systems, evolved binaries, cataclysmic variables, eclipsing binaries, etc. In these sy...
متن کاملPolarimetry with NICMOS
NICMOS cameras 1 and 2 (with ∼ 43 and ∼ 76 mas/pixel, respectively) each carry a set of three polarizing elements to provide high sensitivity observations of linearly polarized light. The polarizers are bandpass limited and provide diffraction-limited imaging in camera 1 at 0.8 1.3μm, and in camera 2 at 1.9-2.1μm. The NICMOS design specified the intra-camera primary axis angles of the polarizer...
