Scientific paper

The new photopolarimeter of Observatoire de Paris, at Meudon, was first used on Comet P/Hailey with the 1OO-em telescope of Meudon Observatory from September to December 1985. After full tests were secured and comet polarization measurements recorded, the instrument was packed and shipped to La Silla for an intensive polarization analysis of the comet with the 1.52-m ESO spectroscopic telescope. Nine nights were allocated from 7 to 16 April, 1986. Of these, eight nights showed a perfect sky with exquisite seeing! In addition, the telescope, perfectly weil adapted for the purpose, was accurately operated by Messrs. Miranda and Borguez, under the supervision of Mr. Le Saux.
