cds-question@unistra.frinterstellar-mediumpolarimetryPolarimetric studies of light transmitted through interstellar clouds may give constraints on the properties of the interstellar dust grains. Traditionally, broadband linear polarisation (BBLP) measurements have been considered an important diagnostic tool for the study of the interstellar dust, while comparatively less attention has been paid to spectropolarimetric measurements. However, spectropolarimetry may offer stronger constraints than BBLP, for example by revealing narrowband features, and by allowing us to distinguish the contribution of dust from the contribution of interstellar gas. Therefore, we have decided to carry out a Large Interstellar Polarisation Survey (LIPS) using spectropolarimetric facilities in both hemispheres. Here we present the results obtained in the Southern Hemisphere with the FORS2 instrument of the ESO Very Large Telescope.2017A&A...608A.146Bhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/608/A146CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/608/A146https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/608/A146http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/608/A146https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/608/A146https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/608/A146http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/608/A146GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/608/A146/table (Synthetic broadband polarisation data, Serkowski curve parameters, position angle gradient and name of the tar file with the corresponding spectropolarimetric data)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/608/A146/table?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/608/A146/table?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/608/A146/table?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true11.8009019-73.10919780.0055555555555555566/4110 19009 21439 21647 22040 22112 22854-22855 23637 23780 23851 23982 24333 24340 24463 28729 28890-28891 29134 29154 29159 29162 29460 29463 29467 29522 29621 31904 33094 33304 33317 37333 37593 37754 37871 37877 37893 37898 37923 37926 37930 38016 38024 38074 38174 39249 39281 39733 39774 39796 41103 41510 41598 41630 41651 41653-41655 41692 41750 41875 41924 42213-42214 42221 42368 42394 42405 42408 42410 42416 42439 42458 42464 42470 42483 42486 42791 42981 42994 43033 43040 43045 43086 43088 43561 44060 45105 47656https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/608/A146?format=asciidefaultJ/A+A/608/A146/tableSynthetic broadband polarisation data, Serkowski curve parameters, position angle gradient and name of the tar file with the corresponding spectropolarimetric datarecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
