The William‐Wehlau Spectropolarimeter: Observing Hot Stars in All Four Stokes Parameters

The William‐Wehlau Spectropolarimeter: Observing Hot Stars in All Four Stokes Parameters

We introduce a new polarimeter unit, which, mounted at the Cassegrain focus of any telescope and fiber-connected to a fixed CCD spectrograph, is able to measure all Stokes parameters I, Q, U, and V across spectral Lines of bright stellar targets and other
