Spectropolarimetry of the 2012 outburst of SN 2009ip: a bi-polar explosion in a dense, disc-like CSM
E. Reilly,Justyn R. Maund,Dietrich Baade,J. Craig Wheeler,Peter Höflich,Jason Spyromilio,Ferdinando Patat,Lifan Wang +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a sequence of eight spectropolarimetric observations monitoring the geometric evolution of the late phase of the major 2012 outburst of SN 2009ip was presented, with the Focal Reducer and Low Dispersion Spectrograph polarimeter mounted on European Southern Observatory VLT.
