| Abstract: |
We present results of observations with the high-speed photo-polarimeter
OPTIMA. In particular, we show high precision optical polarization
measurements of the Crab pulsar with an unprecedented time resolution of
67 μs. The high photon counts allow us to identify very fine
features in the degree and angle of linear polarization as a function of
pulsar rotational phase. The optical data show surprising correlations with
the phase structure at radio frequency. Additionally, we present
preliminary polarimetric observations of the host star of the transiting
planet TrES-3 as a function of its orbital phase. |
