Abstract
"This work deals with a new theoretical method proposed with the intent of improving the quality of astronomical polarimetric data. The theoretical method is ap- plied to one of the simplest possible birefringent type polarizer device constructs, being a hybrid measurement procedure between the fixed position angles and the continu- ous rotation records of the modulator (in our case, the quarter-wave plate) methods. It can be suitable for some astronomical applications in Planetary Science and Stellar As- trophysics, as their polarimetric parameters (polarization degree, polarization angle and Stokes parameters) have relatively stable values, allowing for the iterative proposed pro- cedure. The validity of the procedure is expected to be practically proven by comparing the quality of the polarization parameters obtained with it, on the proposed instrument, with the results obtained with a similar standardized instrument on the market."
