Spectropolarimetry of the massive post-red supergiants IRC +10420 and HD 179821
We present medium resolution spectropolarimetry and long-term photo-polarimetry of two massive post-red supergiants, IRC +10 420 and HD 179 821. The data provide new information on their circumstellar material as well as their evolution. In IRC +10 420, the polarization of the Hα line is different to that of the continuum, which indicates that the electron-scattering region is not spherically s...
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...
متن کاملPulsations in hot supergiants
Massive stars are the cosmic engines that shape and drive our Universe. Many issues such as their formation, their stability and the mass loss effects, are far from being completely understood. Recent ground-based and space observations have shown pulsations in massive MS and post-MS stars, such as acoustic and gravity modes excited by the κ-mechanism and even solar-like oscillations. Theoretic...
