Abstract

We summarize the peliminary results from 3 observing runs with PLANETPOL, a polarimeter designed to achieve sensitivities of order 10⁻⁶ in fractional polarization for nearby hot Jupiter systesm. We also describe some of th problems associated with measuring very small fractional polarizations and the solutions we have adopted. Tese observations were conducted at the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope.
