Proceed as for a single pointing observation with AOT CAM01, but
there are a few changes :
Assuming natural unpolarized light, the transmission of a
polarizer is 50 %, so that one must take = one half of
the expected source flux.
S/N stands for the Signal to Noise ratio in the averaged exposures obtained with one polarizer.
The Table and the formula in section
give the accuracy dP on the linear polarization ratio P, as a
function of the S/N ratio of the measurements, and of the expected
value of P.
stands for the total number of elementary
exposures taken on each polarizer during the observation. At each
passage of a polarizer in the beam, 12 exposures are taken.
