Bulgarian astronomers publish in the prestigious Astronomy & Astrophysics science journal
The FoReRo2 instrument mounted on the 2-meter telescope at NAO Rozhen Light from distant astronomical objects often travels billions of years before reaching Earth. It carries information about its source encoded in its intensity, color, and polarization. In recent years, interest in polarimetric and spectropolarimetric observations has grown significantly, leading to the development of new specialized instruments. FoReRo2 is an instrument mounted years ago on the 2-meter telescope at the Rozhen National Astronomical Observatory which allows precise measurements of polarized light from stars, comets, small bodies in the Solar System, and other interesting astronomical objects. It is currently the only one in Southeast Europe that offers conditions for spectropolarimetric observations on a 2-meter class telescope. The instrument provides excellent opportunities for both scientific [...]
