Polarimetry

Polarimetric observations can be made over the whole PHT wavelength range in the PHT-P and PHT-C filters. Measurements are always made for all three polarisers. Non-thermal emission sources (synchrotron) and dust alignment can be studied with this mode, and in addition non-polarised measurements are performed.
