Abstract
The HARPS spectrograph can now
perform a full polarisation analysis of
spectra. It has been equipped with
a polarimetric unit, HARPSpol, which
was jointly designed and produced
by Uppsala, Utrecht and Rice Universities
and by the STScI. Here we present
the new instrument, demonstrate
its polarisation capabilities and show
the first scientific results.
