Imaging polarimetry of the Bok globule CB56
  The measurement of polarization of the background stars in the region of Bok
globules is important to study the magnetic field geometry and dust grain
characteristics in the globule. These parameters are important for the
formation and evolution of dark clouds. We made polarimetric observations of
Bok globule CB56 in the R-filter from the 2-metre telescope at IUCAA Girawali
Observatory (IGO). The observations were carried out on 2011 March 4th and 5th.
The CCD images obtained from the instrument (IFOSC) were analyzed, to produce
the polarization map of the Bok globule CB56.
