We investigate the kinematic and magnetic properties of G-band bright points in the moat of a regular sunspot. The analysis is based on vector polarimetric...

Polarization is a fundamental property of the light and is very useful to measure the magnetic field vector of the various features that can be observed in the...

We present a theoretical investigation on the influence of a deterministic magnetic field on the linear and circular polarization of the Na I, K I, and Ba II D2...

We present near-infrared linear spectropolarimetry of a sample of persistent X-ray binaries, Sco X-1, Cyg X-2 and GRS 1915+105. For Sco X-1 and Cyg X-2, the...

We present near-infrared linear spectropolarimetry of a sample of persistent X-ray binaries: Sco X-1, Cyg X-2 and GRS 1915+105. For Sco X-1 and Cyg X-2, the...

The various techniques used in the visible and near-infrared for the measurement of intrinsic polarization coming from solar regions are described. Their...

Polarimetry provides key physical information on the properties of interacting binary systems, sometimes difficult to obtain by any other type of observation...

The observations were carried out using the five-channel photopolarimeter of the Torino Astronomical Observatory attached to the 2.15m telescope at the Complejo...

A brief description of the new 1.5-meter solar telescope GREGOR located at the Observatorio del Teide in Tenerife will be given. GREGOR will provide a spatial...
