... In FOS polarimetry mode the incoming beam was split into orthogonal polarization components by a Wollaston prism behind the entrance aperture. ... As with non-polarimetric observations, no concurrent WAVECAL exposure was routinely taken with polarimetry data, so the limiting accuracies of the default pipeline polarimetry wavelength calibration are the same as for the non-polarimetry case described earlier ( See "Wavelength Calibration" on page 32-49. ...
