Stellar Polimetry: From Birth to Death


Book Description

Measurements of polarized light are increasingly used to probe a variety of physical processes operating in and around stars throughout their lifetimes. This meeting brought together both observational and theoretical astronomers to discuss advances in polarimetric methods, applications to stellar sources, and the future of astrophysical polarimetry.
