Optical Photopolarimetry of Blazar OJ287


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We present results from an original observational campaign comprising five epoch optical photopolarimetrical observations of the BL Lac-type AGN OJ287 in the period 2012 November - 2013 April. The data are gathered with the Focal Reducer Rozhen 2 - FoReRo2 on the 2-m RCC telescope at NAO Rozhen, Bulgaria. We derive photometry and polarization in R-band, as well as position angle (P.A.). There are indications for correlation between polarization and brightness in R-band. Furthermore, observed variation in P.A. corresponds to a rotation of the plane of polarization of 5.80 deg per day.
