Summarising the striking advances of the last two decades, this
reliable introduction to modern astronomical polarimetry provides a
comprehensive review of state-of-the-art techniques, models and
research methods. Focusing on optical and near-infrared
wavelengths, each detailed, up-to-date chapter addresses a
different facet of recent innovations, including new
instrumentation, techniques and theories; new methods based on
laboratory studies, enabling the modelling of polarimetric
characteristics for a wide variety of astronomical objects;
emerging fields of polarimetric exploration, including
proto-planetary and debris discs, icy satellites, transneptunian
objects, exoplanets, and the search for extraterrestrial life; and
unique results produced by space telescopes, and polarimeters
aboard exploratory spacecraft. With contributions from an
international team of accomplished researchers, this is an ideal
resource for astronomers and researchers working in astrophysics,
earth sciences, and remote sensing keen to learn more about this
valuable diagnostic tool. The book is dedicated to the memory of
renowned polarimetrist Tom Gehrels.
