Infrared polarimetry of Mrk 231: scattering off hot dust grains in the central core

We present high-angular (0.17−0.35 arcsec) resolution imaging polarimetric observations of Mrk 231 in the 3.1 µm filter using MMT-Pol on the 6.5-m MMT, and in the 8.7 µm, 10.3 µm, and 11.6 µm filters using CanariCam on the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio CANARIAS. In combination with already published observ...
