Polarization Observations with the upgraded wSMA

Author(s): Rao, Ramprasad

Presenter: Ramprasad Rao (ASIAA)

Observations of polarized dust emission are used to map magnetic fields in star forming regions. The upgraded wSMA will provide improvements to the polarization system at the telescope both in terms of sensitivity as well as operational simplicity. In this presentation, I will describe some of the upgrades as well as discuss possible polarization use cases.
