Wavelength Dependence of Polarization. XXIV. Infrared Objects
Abstract
Polarimetric observations of 11 infrared objects are presented. All observed stars show intrinsic polari- xation or large interstellar polarization. The interstellar origin is evident for CIT 11. For NML Cygnus, in addition to a large interstellar polarization, there is also a variable intrinsic polarization component. NML Taurus and CIT 6 both show large amplitude variations of the polarization with maximum polarization at light minimum.
