Stellar Polarimetry: Where Are We and Where Are We Going?

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2012-05-11 v1 Solar and Stellar Astrophysics

Abstract

On the final day of the Stellar Polarimetry conference, participants split up into three "breakout sessions" to discuss the future of the field in the areas of instrumentation, upcoming opportunities, and community priorities. This contribution compiles the major recommendations arising from each breakout session. We hope that the polarimetric community will find these ideas useful as we consider how to maintain the vitality of polarimetry in the coming years.
