Ultraviolet Interstellar Linear Polarization
Astro-2 has revealed a broad weak spectral feature in the ultraviolet interstellar linear polarization for two lines of sight, connrming the original detection toward HD 197770 and adding HD 147933-4. These are the only two polarization features found in some 30 lines of sight now observed. Both features are centered close to 2175 A, the position of the ubiquitous ultraviolet extinction bump. T...

متن کاملInterstellar Scintillations of Polarization of Compact Sources.
We demonstrate that the measurement of fluctuations of polarization due to the Galactic interstellar scintillations may be used to study the structure of the radiation field at compact radio sources. We develop a mathematical formalism and demonstrate it on a simple analytical model in which the scale of the polarization variation through the source is comparable to the source size. The predict...
متن کاملDust-polarization Maps and Interstellar Turbulence
Perhaps the most intriguing result of Planck’s dust-polarization measurements is the observation that the power in the E-mode polarization is twice that in the B mode, as opposed to pre-Planck expectations of roughly equal dust powers in E and B modes. Here we show how the Eand Bmode powers depend on the detailed properties of the fluctuations in the magnetized interstellar medium. These fluctu...
متن کاملDust in the Small Magellanic Cloud: Interstellar Polarization and Extinction
The typical extinction curve for the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), in contrast to that for the Galaxy, has no bump at 2175 Å and has a steeper rise into the far ultraviolet. For the Galaxy the interpretation of the extinction and, therefore, the dust content of the interstellar medium has been greatly assisted by measurements of the wavelength dependence of the polarization. To the present no s...
