Galway Astronomical Stokes Polarimeter (GASP) at Palomar TWiki
Introduction
From the GASP web site at NUI: The Galway Astronomical Stokes Polarimeter (GASP) is an ultra-high-speed, full Stokes, astronomical imaging polarimeter based upon a Division of Amplitude Polarimeter. It has been developed to resolve extremely rapid (~ms) variations in objects such as optical pulsars and magnetic cataclysmic variables.
Project Status
GASP has been tested on the sky in February 2011, with further tests planned for 2012. The effort to modify GASP for visiting use at P200 is in the conceptual design phase.
