Abstract: |
We present here the near-term polarimetry plans for the 1.6 m
clear aperture, off-axis telescope in Big Bear. The first
scientific data were taken in the Summer of 2009 at the Nasmyth
focus, and first observations corrected by adaptive optics were
taken in the Summer of 2010. The first polarimetry for this
telescope will be done in the near infrared at 1.56 μm, which
is close to the photospheric opacity minimum. We show and explain
reasons for the general layout of the polarimetric hardware for
the telescope. |
