Robopol: optical polarisation monitoring of blazars
(HEASA, 2016)
The RoboPol program has been monitoring the R-band linear polarisation parameters of an unbiased
sample of 60 gamma-ray-loud blazars and a “control” sample of 15 gamma-ray-quite ones.
The prime drive for the program has ...
The dependence of optical polarisation of blazars on the synchrotron peak frequency
(PoS, 2017)
The RoboPol instrument and the relevant program was developed in order to conduct a systematic
study of the optical polarisation variability of blazars. Driven by the discovery that long smooth
rotations of the optical ...
