Abstract

The NEOPol project's goal is to build and validate in a laboratory setting a prototype polarimeter for Near Earth Objects (NEOs) observations, together with a dedicated automated pipeline for polarimetric data processing and a web service for data storage and visualization. The outcome of the project will be 1) a polarimeter dedicated to NEO observations, 2) one adapter to a prospective telescope interface where the instrument will be mounted, 3) data processing chain to reduce and analyze the data from the polarimeter, 4) a web service for data storage, reduction, visualization and results browsing, 5) desktop UI for polarimeter's CCD camera and polarimeter sensory data.
