RoboPol standards and AGN polarimetric time-series add - design polarimetry plots and brokers #113

Open wyrzykow opened 7 months ago

RoboPol people from FORTH in Crete have published some time series of polarimetric observations.

Polarimetric time-series for AGNs are available in CDS and I wrote a code to read it and plot it: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/11wH6dqgmVwgq2aQNm3ew48d6ocavxYc7?usp=sharing Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2012.00008.pdf (check the acknowledgment in that paper and add it to the broker)

There are also standards observed as time-series by RoboPol - they can also be added to time-series polarimetry

A dedicated polarimetry broker is needed which will read the RoboPol data from archives. There is going to be also some follow-up data from RoboPol coming into BHTOM soon, so we need a way of plotting it. Separate plot? Or together with photometry?

LW is discussing it with Dima Blinov from FORTH. Dima is collecting polarimetry data for microlensing events as well - we want them in BHTOM!

Pawel Z and Aga Slowikowska are well aware of RoboPol.

Example plot, to be discussed with pol people: image
