Polarization: Methods Of Reduction

Scientific paper

To avoid (spectro-)photometric errors in observations of polarised objects when using a polarisation-sensitive telescope or instrument, one must either eliminate the polarisation or calibrate and correct for the effects. If one adopts the latter course (as one always must to some extent), one needs to know the polarisation of the observed object, and a full polarimetric measurement is required for an accurate photometric result. This paper examines orders of magnitude for the ESO-VLT design and notes requirements on instruments and detectors.
