A submillimetre polarimeter for the continuum receiver UKT14 on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope
The submillimetre continuum radiation from astronomical sources is often linearly polarised due either to the synchrotron radiation from relativistic electrons spiraling along magnetic field lines or thermal radiation from aspherical magnetically aligned dust grains. Measurements of the degree and d...
