  • Polarimetric calibration of large-aperture telescopes. I. Beam-expansion method
    A concept is described for the high-accuracy absolute calibration of the instrumental polarization introduced by the primary mirror of a large-aperture telescope. This procedure requires a small aperture with polarization-calibration optics (e.g., mounted on the dome) followed by a lens that opens the beam to illuminate the entire surface of the

  • Optical polarimetry of SN 2004bv
    We report R band imaging polarimetry of SN 2004bv in NGC 6907 on June 19.299 (UT middle of observation), i.e., two weeks after maximum. We have obtained [ 0.11 ± 0.02] % at position angle 118.7 ° for the observed polarization. The average foreground polarization from field objects was estimated to be [ 0.12 ± 0.02] % at PA 163.4 °, consistent with

  • Optical Linear Polarization of Late M and L Type Dwarfs
    We report on the linear polarimetric observations in the Johnson I-band filter of 44 ultracool dwarfs with spectral types between M6 and L7.5, corresponding to effective temperatures in the range 2800-1400 K, and one M4.5-type star. Based on our measurements of polarization (P) and their associated error bars (σP), 11 (10 L and 1 M) dwarfs appear
