New findings using data from NASA's IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) mission offer unprecedented insight into the ...

Polarimetry has played a key role in the development of modern astronomy, providing insight into physical processes occurring in systems that range from our own solar system to high-redshift galaxies.

Polarization is a fundamental property of light waves. Polarization information of the light interacted with an object can be used to reveal its physical properties of interest, such as material, ...

Each optically active form, or isomer, of a compound will be able to rotate the plane of polarized light by an amount characteristic of that isomer. Polarimetry is a sensitive, nondestructive method ...

Then, the polarimetric extension of the 2L-IHP is proposed, and the optimized polarimetric 2L-IHP is defined. The gain is twofold: in comparison with single polarization, polarimetry is shown to ...

Designed for high-sensitivity optical observations of faint celestial objects, this versatile instrument includes all of the fundamental modes of optical astronomy: imaging, spectroscopy, and ...

The propulsion module has Spectro-polarimetry of Habitable Planet Earth (SHAPE) payload to study the spectral and polarimetric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit. Credit: ISRO SHAPE ...
