A halfwave spectropolarimeter provided medium resolution spectropolarimetry for research into the interstellar medium, hot stars, stars with circumstellar material, interacting binary stars, novae, solar system objects, and active galaxies. A Lyot analyzer obtained low resolution observations of faint targets, but due to calibration problems did not produce scientifically useful data. The WUPPE instrument provides a unique data set, one of the few providing polarimetric data in the ultraviolet portion of the spectrum. http://archive.stsci.edu/wuppe/ Archive Research 2 http://archive.stsci.edu/wuppe/search.php?
