Astrophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

We give the results of polarimetric observations of 16 long-period variable stars of Mira Ceti type and three irregular variable giants of late spectral classes. Four of the 19 program stars exhibited light polarization. Analysis of the observational data shows that the light polarization for these stars probably arises in the initial phase of the increase in brightness.
