Derivation and Application of a Scaling between Hinode/SP and SDO/HMI Vector Magnetic Fields to Improve Magnetic Field Extrapolations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Full-disk measurements of the solar magnetic field by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) are often used for magnetic field extrapolations, but its limited spatial and spectral resolution can lead to significant errors.

Spectropolarimetry and the Study of Circumstellar Disks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Circumstellar disks play an important role in many stages of the evolution of stars. However, it is only possible to directly image circumstellar disks for a few of the nearest stars. For massive stars, the situation is even more difficult, as they are on average further away than the more numerous low mass stars.

Spectropolarimetry of Fraunhofer Lines in Local Upper Solar Atmosphere

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Spectropolarimetric results of Fraunhofer lines between 516.3 and 532.6 nm are presented in local upper solar chromosphere and inner corona below a height of about 0.04 solar radius above the solar limb. The data were acquired on 2013 November 3 during a

The CHARA Array Polarization Model and Prospects for Spectropolarimetry

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Polarimetric data provide key insights into infrared emission mechanisms in the inner disks of young stellar objects (YSOs) and the details of dust formation around asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. While polarization measurements are well-established

Spectropolarimetry of Supernovae

open access: yes
I will present results from spectropolarimetry of various recent supernovae obtained by the UC Berkeley group primarily at Lick Observatory. These include the Type Ia SN 2019ein, as well as the Type II SNe 2021jya, 2023ixf, and 2024iss. Various interesting results have been obtained and will be described.

PolStar - An Explorer-Class FUV Spectropolarimetry Mission to Map the Environments of Massive Stars

open access: yes, 2019
PolStar is an Explorer-class far ultraviolet (FUV) spectropolarimetry mission designed to target massive stars and their environments. PolStar will take advantage of resonance lines only available in the FUV to measure for the first time the magnetic and
