A large area Thomson-scattering stellar X-ray polarimeter.An instrument for measuring the polarization of stellar X-ray emission has been designed, constructed, and tested. The polarization dependence of incoherent Thomson scattering in lithium metal is utilized. Means for suppression of cosmic ray background effects have been provided. The apparatus has been flown in rockets to obtain data in the polarization of X-ray sources in Sco X-1 and Tau X-1.
