Spectroscopy and polarimetry of the R Aquarii system
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
Optical spectroscopy is used to derive the electron temperature and density of the jet of R Aqr. We present polarimetric data which shows that the degree of polarization in R Aqr can vary by up to two orders of magnitude and that this variation is correlated with the phase of the Mira. The polarization angle also varies with the phase of observation.
