This book serves as both a primer to astronomical polarimetry and
an authoritative overview of its application to various types of
astronomical objects from AGN, compact stars, binary systems, stars
across the HR diagram, transients, the interstellar medium and
solar system bodies. It starts with an historical perspective, a
discussion of polarimetric theory, instrumentation and techniques
in wave bands from the near infrared to gamma rays. The book
presents the state of the art in astronomical polarimetry. It is
motivated by the new X-ray polarimeters due to be launched in the
next four years and improved optical polarimeters on large
telescopes requiring a new analysis of polarimetric theory,
methodology and results.This book will be suitable as advanced
undergraduate companion text, a primer for graduate students and
all researchers with an interest in astronomical polarimetry.
