Special Remarks:
The PI will need a spectrophotometric standard to be observed at one retarder plate PA; this can be within 3 days of the SN observations, so multiple SN observations may share such an observation; a polarized standard star may also be requested.
Abstract for MTS:
Time-resolved spectropolarimetry of relatively bright (V about 16 mag at discovery) SNe during the first 2-4 weeks after explosion. The aimed-for accuracy is 0.1% in the degree of polarization. Typically, we would trigger 2-5 times per SN. For an unusually bright SN, the monitoring may also be longer and more frequent.
The PI has prepared OBs for SNe and a spectrophotometric standard star. They come in different flavors: with and without order-sorting filter and with and without offset along the slit. Observations of SN and standard star must be of the same flavor. The PI will inform at the time of the trigger, which ones to use.
Finding charts will be submitted at the time of trigger.
