An investigation of the eigenvalue calibration method (ecm) using gasp for non-imaging and imaging detectors
Kyne, Gillian; Lara, David; Hallinan, Gregg; Redfern, Michael; Shearer, Andrew (Springer Nature, 2015-08-29)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. Optical observations, of both the linear and ... -
Ptf1 j191905.19+481506.2—a partially eclipsing am cvn system discovered in the palomar transient factory
Levitan, David; Kupfer, Thomas; Groot, Paul J.; Margon, Bruce; Prince, Thomas A.; Kulkarni, Shrinivas R.; Hallinan, Gregg; Harding, Leon K.; Kyne, Gillian; Laher, Russ; Ofek, Eran O.; Rutten, René G. M.; Sesar, Branimir; Surace, Jason (IOP Publishing, 2014-04-02)We report on PTF1 J191905.19+ 481506.2, a newly discovered, partially eclipsing, outbursting AM CVn system found in the Palomar Transient Factory synoptic survey. This is only the second known eclipsing AM CVn system. We ... -
The galway astronomical stokes polarimeter: an all-stokes optical polarimeter with ultra-high time resolution
Collins, Patrick; Kyne, Gillian; Lara, David; Redfern, Michael; Shearer, Andy; Sheehan, Brendan (Springer Nature, 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 ...
