Description

A new polarimeter is being developed at UNSW and WSU that will have utility for the CTA project. In this talk I will describe the recent development of high precision polarimetry in Australia and the scientific achievements it has enabled, with a focus on understanding the evolution of high mass stars. I will then outline the development of the new polarimeter, how its design differs and how this will enable CTA science.
