Scientific paper

One HST standard unpolarized point source is observed to determine the instrumental polarization for each of the three polarizers on NIC1 {POL0S, POL120S and POL240S} and NIC2 {POL0L, POL120L, POL240L}. Also, the polarization fraction and position angle of polarization are measured for a standard polarized point source to determine their absolute accuracy in each polarizer and each camera. Polarimetric observations of CRL2688 {The Egg Nebula} will be performed to evaluate the calibration across the imaging field in both cameras. These observations are required after the installation of the NCS.
