Automated Polarimetry with Smaller Aperture Telescopes: The ROVOR Observatory

Automated Polarimetry with Smaller Aperture Telescopes: The ROVOR Observatory

To better understand possible blazar jet mechanisms and morphologies, brighter prototypical objects are regularly monitored for variability in optical broad-band light. If the monitoring filters are polarized, the position angles and polarization percentages can be measured and their evolution monit...
