Abstract:
An Imaging Polarimeter has been fabricated for use with liquid-
N2 cooled CCD camera and is designed to suit 104-cm Sampurnanand telescope
with an f/13 focus at Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences
(ARIES), Naini Tal. The instrument measures the linear polarisation in broad
B, V and R band and has a field of view ∼ 2´ × 2´ . We are presenting here some
observations regarding the polarisation of some polarised as well as unpolarised
stars with a view to show the performance of our polarimeter.
