Polarization is a unique tool to study the properties of dust grains of protoplanetary disks and detail the initial conditions of planet formation. Polarization around HL Tau was previously imaged using the Atacama Large…

A single very deep $10'$ field has been imaged to $r \sim 26$. There are 2682 galaxies with $23 \le r \le 26$ with a size significantly larger than the seeing disk in the field. After correcting for telescope aberrations, possible guiding…

We interpret the linear polarization structures observed in extragalactic radio sources, even those oriented at oblique angles to the jet flows, to be due to oblique, relativistic shock fronts in the emitting regions. Many sources exhibit…
