This award will support accurate measures of stellar                            polarization.  Circular polarization is indicative of stellar                   magnetic fields such as those on starspots.  Linear polarization                is due to stellar non-radial oscillations, starspots, or                        reflected light from dark orbiting bodies.                                                                                                                      Magnetic fields exist on many stars but are best observed on the                Sun, especially near sunspots where they drive solar flares and                 other activity.  Until now, the detection of normal stellar                     magnetic fields required spectra taken with large telescopes.                   Instead, Kemp will detect such magnetic fields and especially                   star spots by the consequent polarization of starlight.  Kemp is                considered an expert on the detection of faint stellar                          polarization and will be able to use telescopes of modest size at               the University of Oregon and in France.  Kemp's polarization data               can also reveal when stars are not spherical or have otherwise                  unseen companion stars.
