Description

The work focused on measuring the linear polarization of bright and faint stars to validate the instrument’s performance and refine the data-reduction pipeline. Using a sequence of retarder-angle images, we calculated the polarization fraction and angle, tested calibration consistency, and automated key steps in the Python-based workflow. These results establish a reliable framework for upcoming blazar observations and multi-site CTApol integration.
