Spectropolarimetry of Broad Hα Lines and Geometry of the BLR
In a small fraction of Broad Line Radio Galaxies (BLRG) and Seyfert 1 galaxies, the polarization position angle rotates across the broad emission lines, especially at Hα. An understanding of this behavior can potentially yield important information on the scattering geometry in the nucleus. We show two examples of this phenomenon, 3C 445, a BLRG, and Mrk 231, a Seyfert 1, and present an equator...
متن کاملHα spectropolarimetry of B[e] and Herbig Be stars
We present the results of medium resolution (∆v ≈ 60 km s) spectropolarimetric observations across Hα of a sample of B[e] and Herbig Be objects. A change in linear polarization across Hα is detected in a large fraction of the objects, with characteristics ranging from simple depolarization in a couple of Herbig Be stars, to more complex behaviour in the probable post main sequence B[e] stars. H...
متن کاملSpectropolarimetry of Supernovae
Overwhelming evidence has accumulated in recent years that supernova explosions are intrinsically 3-dimensional phenomena with significant departures from spherical symmetry. We review the evidence derived from spectropolarimetry that has established several key results: virtually all supernovae are significantly aspherical near maxim light; core-collapse supernovae behave differently than ther...
متن کاملSpectropolarimetry of cool stars
In recent years, the development of spectropolarimetric techniques deeply modified our knowledge of stellar magnetism. In the case of solar-type stars, the challenge is to measure a geometrically complex field and determine its evolution over very different time frames. In this article, I summarize some important observational results obtained in this field over the last two decades and detail ...
متن کاملSpectropolarimetry of Core-Collapse Supernovae
We briefly review the young field of spectropolarimetry of corecollapse supernovae (SNe). Spectropolarimetry provides the only direct known probe of early-time supernova (SN) geometry. The fundamental result is that asphericity is a ubiquitous feature of young core-collapse SNe. However, the nature and degree of the asphericity vary considerably. The best predictor of core-collapse SN polarizat...
