Scientific paper

We summarize the preliminary results from 3 observing runs with PLANETPOL, a polarimeter designed to achieve sensitivities of order 10^{-6} in fractional polarization for nearby hot Jupiter systems. We also describe some of the problems associated with measuring very small fractional polarizations and the solutions we have adopted. These observations were conducted at the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope.
