The optical development and calibration of the Galway Astronomical Stokes Polarimeter (GASP) as a multi-detector system for the polarimetric observations of variable optical sources
(2014-06-03)Polarised light from astronomical targets can yield a wealth of information about their source radiation mechanisms, and about the geometry of the scattered light regions. To date, stellar observations have focused, for ... -
Polarisation of synchrotron radiation from isolated neutron stars
(2016-03-10)Pulsars are enigmatic neutron stars which have defied efforts to understand them for over 40 years. POREC (Pulsar Optical Reverse Engineering Code) was first written to constrain pulsar emission theories through constraining ...
