Near - Infrared Imaging Polarimetry of HD 142527 ?
Context. HD 142527 is a pre-transition disk with strong evidence for on-going planet formation. Recent observations show a disrupted disk with spiral arms, a dust-depleted inner cavity and the possible presence of gas streams driving gas from the outer disk towards the central star. Aims. We aim to derive the morphology of the disk, as well as the distribution and properties of the dust at its ...
متن کاملNear-infrared imaging polarimetry of dusty young stars
We have carried out JHK polarimetric observations of eleven dusty young stars, by using the polarimeter module IRPOL2 with the near-IR camera UIST on the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT). Our sample targeted systems for which UKIRT-resolvable discs had been predicted by model fits to their spectral energy distributions. Our observations have confirmed the presence of extended pol...
متن کاملNear and Mid Infrared Imaging Polarimetry of NGC 1068
We present the results of a series of observations of the near-and mid-infrared polarisa-tion properties of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC1068. Our data agree well with previously published results in showing the need for a separate polarisation mechanism in the near infrared apart from scattering. We find that the predictions of a simple model in which this component arises through absorptive dichro...
متن کاملNear-Infrared Imaging Polarimetry of the GG Tauri Circumbinary Ring.
We present 1 µm Hubble Space Telescope/near-infrared camera and multiobject spectrometer resolved imaging polarimetry of the GG Tau circumbinary ring. We find that the ring displays east-west asymmetries in surface brightness as well as several pronounced irregularities but is smoother than suggested by ground-based adaptive optics observations. The data are consistent with a 37 degrees system ...
متن کاملNear-Infrared Polarimetry toward the Galactic Center
Near-infrared polarimetry of point sources reveals the presence of a toroidal magnetic field in the central 20’ x 20’ region of our Galaxy. Comparing the Stokes parameters between high extinction stars and relatively low extinction ones, we have obtained a polarization originating from magnetically aligned dust grains at the central region of our Galaxy of at most 1-2 kpc. The derived direction...
