Scientific paper

We report on a 9 pixel polarimeter, SPARO, the Submillimeter Polarimeter for Antarctic Remote Observing, for use on the Viper telescope, located at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. We describe the design and performance of the polarimeter and highlight those characteristics that make SPARO unique. Chief among these characteristics are an increased beam size ( 4') for large-scale mapping of magnetic fields and innovations to the cryostat design to ensure smooth operation during the austral winter. We also include a discussion of systematic effects of the SPARO-Viper system and observations of NGC 6334 and the Galactic center obtained at South Pole during July 2000.
