Study of polarization properties of comets by themethod of aperture polarimetry

An important source of information on the physical properties of small bodies is the polarization characteristics of the light scattered by these bodies. The most important polarization characteristic is the phase dependence of polarization. Over the next 2 years, 18 comets were observed. For many comets, polarimetric data have been obtained for the first time. Based on the results of observations, the phase dependence of the polarization of the comet continuum was plotted.
