VizieR Online Data Catalog: RoboPol: AGN polarimetric monitoring data (Blinov+, 2021)
Abstract
We provide data for sources belonging to several observing samples as indicated by the 'SID' flag in Table A1.
During, and immediately after, the RoboPol polarimeter commissioning, we performed a month-long single-epoch survey of two unbiased samples of 89 gamma-ray-loud (Sample Identifier SID=1) and 15 gamma-ray-quiet (SID=2) sources. During the main monitoring programme, we regularly observed sources belonging to two samples: the 'main' gamma-ray-loud sample (SID=3), consisting of 62 sources selected by placing a photon-flux cut on sources from the Second Fermi LAT Catalogue (2FGL; Nolan et al. 2012ApJS..199...31N, Cat. J/ApJS/199/31) and an additional optical magnitude cut, as well as constraints on source visibility and separation from other field sources; and the 'control' gamma-ray-quiet sample (SID=4), of 15 sources selected based on their radio variability properties and absence from 2FGL. In addition to the 'main' and 'control' samples, during 2013-2014 we monitored a sample of 24 individually-selected sources of high interest. Moreover, 44 other AGNs were observed for different projects along the project execution. These sources that have not been selected with uniform criteria are assigned SID=5. In 2014, we also conducted a distinct polarization monitoring programme focused on intermediate- and high-synchrotron peaked BL Lac objects. This programme included 29 TeV-detected sources and 19 non-TeV sources (SID=6). (2 data files).- Publication:
