expound

When Polarimetry Made History,space telescope observations of polarised X-radiation in the 1970s; the viewing-angle unification scheme of active galactic nuclei since the 1980s; and the hunt for B-mode polarisation in the cosmic microwave background.

Introduction to Polarisation and Polarimetry,ision-of-time polarimetry. Thorough calibration of a polarimeter should be carried out so that reliable and accurate measurements are obtained. In this chapter we describe a number of robust calibration methods that do not require any assumptions to be made about the system.

冥界三河

Optical Polarimetry: Methods, Instruments and Calibration Techniques,ion of black hole X-ray binaries and massive binary stars made with our DiPol-2 polarimeter, which allowed us to constrain the sources of optical emission in black hole X-ray binaries and measure orbital parameters of massive stellar binaries.

令人作嘔

Multi-Wavelength Polarimetry of Isolated Pulsars,hought to be powered by thermal emission from the cooling neutron star surface, has detected optical polarisation. This chapter will review the current multi-wavelength polarisation observations and the theoretical modelling by which we can probe the pulsar magnetosphere structure and emission mechanisms.
