Descripción
We present the preliminary results of the recent Hα
narrow-band imaging carried out for NGC 2770 with the Gran Telescopio
Canarias (GTC) equipped with OSIRIS. We put the polarization
measurements reported in Gorosabel et al. (2010) for SN 2007uy and SN
2008D in the context of the morphological information inferred from the
Hα imaging. We estimated the orientation of the
interstellar polarization (ISP) at the position of SN 2007uy and, most
interestingly, at the site of SN 2008D which has been subject of an
intensive debate due to its possible connection with Gamma-Ray Bursts
(GRBs). The Hα imaging reveals a clumpy interstellar
medium (ISM) composed of hundreds of compact emitting regions, for which
we determined their sizes. The derived size for the Hα
emitting region coincident with SN 2008D is consistent with the ISM cell
size limits imposed by Gorosabel et al. (2010) based on millimetric
data. A deeper data analysis is under way and will be published
elsewhere. This article represents the first attempt to study the site
of a possible GRB-like event combining millimetric, polarimetric and
narrow-band data.
