Observations

During this project we submitted a number of observing proposal which were accepted and the time was awarded. Most of the observations were conducted in polarimetric mode and allowed us to broaden our knowledge about white dwarfs and neutron stars.

Liverpool Telescope, Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain

Polarimetric measurements of selected BeXBs (OL13B08, 8 hours)

First observational proposal to investigate dependency of BeXBs polarisation degree on the orbital phase.

Polarimetric measurements of selected BeXBs (DL15B01, 12 hours)

During EWASS 2015 conference as a result of discussion with Liverpool Telescope director we were awarded an additional observing time to compensate callibration problems of previous data (OL13B08).

RISE camera observations of eclipsing binary systems to investigate possible exoplanets (OL15A36, 6 hours)

Observations of white dwarf and main sequence star binary systems.

Multicolor phase avaraged polarimetry of the Crab pulsar (PQ15B04, 1.25 hours)

Simultaneous polarimetric observations of the Crab pulsar with fast polarimeter GASP mounted on WHT.

Inclination angles of the high mass X-ray binaries based on polarimetric observations with the RINGO3 polarimeter (PL16A17, 18 hours)

Follow-up observations of main area of interest of this project. Promising data of V 0332+53 and SAX J2103.5+4545 allowed us to apply for monitoring of other BeXBs with longer orbital periods. The observations will be conducted in the first semester of 2016.
