About: PlanetPol

An Entity of Type: planet, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

PlanetPol was a ground-based, high sensitivity polarimeter based at the William Herschel Telescope on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, Spain that has now been decommissioned. It was the most sensitive astronomical visual polarimeter ever built in fractional polarisation, a mantle that since its decommissioning now belongs to . Although the device could be used for a wide range of astronomy, its primary use was the detection of extrasolar planets.
