Abstract:At I/A = 2.79 pm-1, the comparison of a Be star with a nearby normal R star shows that the interstellar polarization of the Be star is diminished by a factor 0.7.The variable polarization of Be-type stars was detected by SHAKOVSKOJ [IO] and by COYNE and GEHRELS [3].In the emission-lines stars, the observed polarization is of intrinsic as well as of interstellar origin. The intrinsic polarization diminishes in the ultra-violet more rapidly than the interstellar polarizationRecently, COYNE and KRUZEWSKI [4] foun… Show more
