Optical polarization of nova Monocerotis 1975 (=A 0620-00).
Abstract
The linear polarization of the optical counterpart of the transient X-ray source A0620-00 is interstellar in magnitude, position angle, and wavelength dependence. The magnitude of the polarization is consistent with a distance greater than 1 kpc.
