A search for debris disks with a dual channel adaptive optics imaging polarimeter

A dual channel polarimeter was incorporated into the Hokupa'a adaptive optics system mounted on the Gemini North telescope to enhance sensitivity to detecting the light scattered by circumstellar material. The technique suppressed noise introduced by non-repeatable variations of the point sprea...
