Imaging Stokes Photometer-Polarimeter for the BOOTES Global Telescope Network

The main idea and some details of Imaging Stokes photometer-polarimeter are presented. The photometer-polarimeter is designed for very early observations of gamma-ray bursts afterglows, regular monitoring of the peculiar objects, cometary comae, active asteroids and Centaurs. Polarimetric observations will be optimized for two spectral regions: 400-550 nm and 550-1100 nm, thus making possible to measure the Stokes parameters on two ways: by means of polarizers with azimuths 0◦, 60◦, 120◦ and polarizers with azimuths 0◦, 45◦, 90◦, 135◦ and a quarter-wave plate. This will provide measurements for linear and circular polarizations. Some details of this project are presented in the paper.
