Large Optical Polarization of the OH Emission Source VY Canis Majoris
Abstract
Polarization of 18 per cent is observed in the ultraviolet spectral region of VY Canis Majoris. The percentage polarization and the position angle are linear functions of frequency in the spectral regions from the ultraviolet to the yellow
