VRI/gri Photometry And Polarimetry Of Blazars At The Table Mountain Observatory, 2005-2011
Abstract
We present VRI/gri photometry and polarimetry of several objects studied by the blazar monitoring program at Pomona College's Table Mountain Observatory, which has now been operating for seven summers. Initially only VRI photometric observations were possible, although a set of gri filters was added in 2008 and is now the filter set most commonly in use. A polarimeter was added during the summer of 2007 and most of last summer's observations involved characterizing the performance of the polarimeter in greater deal, including testing the effects of scattered moonlight.
