NIRC2-Pol: First Light of Near-Infrared Polarimetry on Keck II

Briley L. Lewis, Manxuan Zhang, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer +21

NIRC2, the Near Infrared Camera 2 on the Keck II telescope, was recently upgraded with a new suite of polarimetric observing modes. The new polarimetry modes (referred to as NIRC2-…
