“…However, the area is at the edge of the Per OB2 association which was the subject of several extinction law studies. Coyne, Gehrels & Serkowski (1974) have found that the stars £ Per and ( Per show normal values of the wavelength of maximum polarization, A max at 0.59 and 0.58 /zm. This wavelength is proportional to the ratio R = AV/EB-V and gives R 3.2-3.3, which is close to the ratio for the normal interstellar extinction law.…”

“…The spectral dependence of visual and near-II3 observations of polarization may be extremely well fit by the empirical Serkowski formula : (Serkowski, 1973;Coyne et al, 1974;Serkowski et al, 1975), where pmax is the peak percentage polarization and Anax is the wavelength corresponding to pmax.…”

“…An analysis of previously published photometric and polarimetric measurements (Coyne et al 1974;Serkowski et al 1969;Hiltner 1956;Kilkenny et al 1985) allows us to conclude that the brightness of this object in the V band varies from 9 . m 1 to 9 .…”

Abstract. We present and discuss optical polarimetry of a large group (60 objects) of peculiar early-type stars (Herbig Ae/Be stars and candidate members, B[e] stars, extreme emission line objects etc.). Most were taken from "A new catalogue of members and candidate members of Herbig Ae/Be stellar group" The et al. (1994). For 40 out of the 60 objects polarization was measured for the first time. On the basis of the data we draw conclusions about the circumstellar shell configuration and orientation for several objects. Polarimetric variability on different timescales (minutes . . . hours . . . days) was investigated, as well as comparison with earlier measurements to investigate variability over longer time-scales. No circular polarization was detected to a 5σ level in most of the investigated stars. Polarimetric data obtained here as well as data available from the literature were analyzed from the point of investigating the evolutionary status of the objects. The relationship between the polarimetric and photometric data was also investigated.
