Optical Linear Polarization in the Case of Two Supernovae Associated to X-ray Flashes: XRF060218/SN2006aj and XRF080109/SN2008D
We present the polarization monitoring carried out for two SNe associated with GRBs: XRF060218/SN2006aj and XRF080109/SN2008D. For XRF060218/SN2006aj we measured a mean polarization of P˜4% at 2.6-5.6 days after the X-ray event. This is the highest polarization value ever measured for a supernova. We derived the intrinsic polarization of XRF080109
