The principal aim of this project is to implement and execute SOUTH POL, a survey of the Southern sky in optical polarized light. For that purpose, we will design and build a polarimetric module to be installed in the 80cm Robotic Telescope (RT) that was recently awarded by FAPESP to IAG. This project aims at obtaining support for the construction of this polarimeter and implementation of…
We explore correlations between visual extinction and polarization along the western side of the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) Vela Shell using a published polarimetric catalog of several hundred objects. Our extinction maps along this ionization front (I-front) find evidence of clumpy structure with typical masses between 1.5 and 6 Msolar and a mean length scale L~0.47 pc. The p…
The principal aim of this project is to study, through observation and modeling some of the components and interactions of the stars and the lnsterstellar Medium (IS:M) of the Galaxy and Magellanic Clouds (MC). We wi11: (a) probe the envelopes and the mass loss processes in massive stars; (b) study asymmetries around the luminous red giants and supergiants; (c) develop tools to be used to…

The goal of this postdoc application is the participation of Dr. Edgar Ramírez in the Polarimetry Group at IAG-USP and its activities. These will include data reduction, analysis and publication of the data obtained for the Survey of Interstellar Polarization at the LNA observatory. These data and their analysis will provide fundamental information on the Galactic interstellar magnetic fi…
This project aims at studying the interstellar magnetic field in regions of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) that have been affected by the interaction between the Small and the Large Magellanic Clouds.We will use optical imaging polarimetry data to detect the polarization from aligned dust grains in the interstellar magnetic field of the SMC. The optical linear polarization will map the …
