Evidence of Two-Component Optical Polarization in Blazar 1ES 1959+650
In this work we present an analysis of the optical polarimetric variability of the TeV-blazar 1 ES 1959+650 from 2007 October 18 to 2011 May 5. The source showed a maximum variation of 1.2 mag in R- band, and a maximum polarization degree of 12.2%. The blazar presented a preferential position angle...
