Statistical Properties of Galactic Starlight Polarization

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2002
International audienceWe present a statistical analysis of Galactic interstellar polarization from the largest compilation available of starlight data. The data comprises ~9300 stars, of which we have selected ~5500 for our analysis.

Extreme starlight polarization in a region with highly polarized dust emission⋆

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2019
Context. Galactic dust emission is polarized at unexpectedly high levels, as revealed by Planck. Aims: The origin of the observed ≃20% polarization fractions can be identified by characterizing the properties of optical starlight polarization in a region

Demonstration of Magnetic Field Tomography with Starlight Polarization toward a Diffuse Sightline of the ISM

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
The availability of large data sets with stellar distance and polarization information will enable a tomographic reconstruction of the (plane-of-the-sky-projected) interstellar magnetic field in the near future.
