Mm Radiation: Polarimeters, Polarization: Molecular Clouds

Scientific paper

The authors present the design of a broadband, 1.3 mm polarimeter for astronomical observations and the results of first light observations at the Heinrich Hertz Telescope (HHT). The systematic polarization of the instrument plus telescope is 1.1%. The observed linear polarization of DR21, P = 1.65%±0.14% and θ = 16°±2°, is consistent with previous measurements. The authors' 0.9% upper limit on the linear polarization of Cepheus A is the first 1.3 mm measurement reported. With Cyclops it is possible to map the magnetic fields in several of the brightest molecular cloud dust cores in the Milky Way. The authors comment on the expected performance of an achromatic Rexolite half-waveplate for λ = 800 μm to 1.3 mm.
