Spectropolarimetry experience with a small refracor
Posted: Fri Jul 15, 2022 2:14 pm
Hi there,
Here are some nice results which show that it is possible to detect the circular polarization of a bright star (Alp2 CVn) with a modest setup (72mm f/6 refractor + 3D printed Star'Ex spectrograph).
Resuts and some theoretical and technical aspects of the experiment are detailed here (in french sorry):
