    • Circular polarization of synchrotron radiation in high magnetic fields 

      de Burca, Diarmaid; Shearer, Andrew (Oxford University Press, 2015-04-17)
      The general model for incoherent synchrotron radiation has long been known, with the first theory being published by Westfold in 1959 and continued by Westfold and Legg in 1968. When this model was first developed, it was ...

    • The Galway astronomical Stokes polarimeter: an all-Stokes optical polarimeter with ultra-high time resolution 

      Collins, Patrick; Kyne, Gillian; Lara, David; Redfern, Michael; Shearer, Andrew; Sheehan, Brendan (Springer Verlag, 2013-06-28)
      Many astronomical objects emit polarised light, which can give information both about their source mechanisms, and about (scattering) geometry in their source regions. To date (mostly) only the linearly polarised components ...

    • A search for pulsations from Geminga above 100 GeV with VERITAS 

      Connolly, M.P.; Gillanders, Gary; Moriarty, P.; Lang, Mark (American Astronomical Society, 2015-02-10)
      We present the results of 71.6 hr of observations of the Geminga pulsar (PSR J0633+1746) with the VERITAS very-high-energy gamma-ray telescope array. Data taken with VERITAS between 2007 November and 2013 February were ...
