Interactions between light and matter leave unique imprints on the polarization of radiation. Astronomical polarimetry, the study of polarized light from astrophysical sources, reveals physical processes that spectroscopy and photometry alone cannot. As techniques have advanced, polarimetry has become essential for exploring phenomena such as the role of magnetic fields in star formation and the early universe.

This book offers a unified overview of the theory, instrumentation, and astrophys...
