The Hertz/VPM polarimeter: design and first light observations.
We present first results of Hertz/VPM, the first submillimeter polarimeter employing the dual Variable-delay Polarization Modulator (dual-VPM). This device differs from previously used polarization modulators in that it operates in translation, rather than mechanical rotation. We discuss the basic theory behind this device and its potential advantages over the commonly used half-wave plate. The...
متن کاملFirst observations with a new imaging polarimeter
We present first observations of solar polarization with a new imaging polarimetry system that simultaneously records three Stokes components, I , Q, V or I , U , V , in a single CCD. This instrument is an intermediate version on the way to ZIMPOL II (Zürich Imaging Stokes Polarimeter II), which will record all four Stokes parameters (Stenflo et al. 1992). The principle of operation is based on...
متن کاملefl students gender and socioeconomic status: the use of politeness strategies in the first and second languages
within the components of communicative competence, a special emphasis is put on the “rules of politeness,” specifically the politeness strategies (brown and levinson, 1978) that speakers deploy when performing the request speech act. this is because the degree of imposition that making a request places upon one’s interlocutor(s) has been seen to be influenced by several factors among which, as ...
First observations of the Phoebe ring in optical light
The Phoebe ring, Saturn’s largest and faintest ring, lies far beyond the planet’s well-known main rings. It is primarily sourced by collisions with Saturn’s largest irregular satellite Phoebe, perhaps through stochastic macroscopic collisions, or through more steady micrometeoroid bombardment. The ring was discovered with the Spitzer Space Telescope at 24 lm and has a normal optical depth of 2 ...
متن کاملThe Ircal Polarimeter: Design, Calibration, and Data Reduction for an Adaptive Optics Imaging Polarimeter
We have upgraded IRCAL, the near-infrared science camera of the Lick Observatory adaptive optics system, to add a dual-channel imaging polarimetry mode. This mode uses an optically contacted YLF (LiYF4) Wollaston prism to provide simultaneous images in perpendicular linear polarizations, providing high resolution, high dynamic range polarimetry in the near infrared. We describe the design and c...
