Linear polarization of monochromatic oscillations in optical spectrum of the intermediate polar PQ Geminorum.

Abstract (from CDS):

We report the results of optical dynamic spectropolarimetry of the intermediate polar PQ Gem (RE 0751+14), which were obtained with the help of the linear polarization analyzer and the BTA scanner in a high time resolution mode (32ms) at the 6m telescope on November 19, 1996. Narrow-band spectral oscillations in the vicinity of the spin period (13.9min) have been investigated. The dependence of the power of oscillations on the wavelengths (3800-5200Å, 1Å/channel) and periods of pulsations in the region 300-2000 s with a mean resolution along the period 10 s has been calculated. Power spectra have revealed strong (amplitude ≃20%), polarized (dominating in one of the orthogonal polarizations), monochromatic (FWHM in power spectra 2-3AA) oscillations with periods of 13.3-15.2min mainly in the profiles of emission lines. The strong dynamic linear polarization (70-80%) with the already detected strong dynamic circular polarization (60-90%) of the monochromatic oscillations make practically impossible any interpretation of the oscillations in the frame of conventional physics.
