A TECHNIQUE FOR SIMULTANEOUS MEASUREMENT OF CIRCULAR AND LINEAR POLARIZATION WITH A SINGLE-CHANNEL POLARIMETER
Journal Title: Odessa Astronomical Publications - Year 2016, Vol 29, Issue
Abstract
We present a technique for simultaneous measurement of circular and linear polarization with the single-channel polarimeter, that is used in Crimean astrophysical observatory for many years. Methods and a computer program for data reduction is described. The algorithm is described, which have been used for photo-polarimetric monitoring of various astronomical objects cataclysmic variables, asteroids, comets.

SUN’S POLAR MAGNETIC FIELD REVERSALS IN SOLAR CYCLE 24
It is known that polar magnetic field of the Sun changes its sign at the maximum of solar cycle. These changes were called as polar field reversals. We investigated dynamics of high-latitude solar magnetic fields separat...
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PERIOD CHANGES INMIRA-TYPE VARIABLES
The period changes in a sample of Miraty pe variables were analysedand classified. Characteristics of the long-term cyclicity in the period changes were obtained.
