| Abstract: | The scientific motivation for X-ray polarimetry is discussed with particular emphasis on the information that might be obtained on the binary X-ray pulsars in addition to a number of other classes of objects including solar flares. Detailed discussions are given for Thomson-scattering and Bragg-crystal polarimeters with numerical estimates for the sensitivity of various existing and proposed instruments.Presented at the International Conference on X-Rays in Space held at the University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada, 14–21 August 1974 |
