The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry(BLAST-Pol) is a suborbital mapping experiment designed to study the roleplayed by magnetic fields in the star formation process. BLAST-Pol is thereconstructed BLAST telescope, with the addition of linear polarizationcapability. Using a 1.8 m Cassegrain telescope, BLAST-Pol images the sky onto afocal plane that consists of 280 bolometric detectors in three arrays,observing simultaneously at 250, 350, and 500 um. The diffraction-limitedoptical system provides a resolution of 30'' at 250 um. The polarimeterconsists of photolithographic polarizing grids mounted in front of eachbolometer/detector array. A rotating 4 K achromatic half-wave plate providesadditional polarization modulation. With its unprecedented mapping speed andresolution, BLAST-Pol will produce three-color polarization maps for a largenumber of molecular clouds. The instrument provides a much needed bridge inspatial coverage between larger-scale, coarse resolution surveys and narrowfield of view, and high resolution observations of substructure withinmolecular cloud cores. The first science flight will be from McMurdo Station,Antarctica in December 2010.
