Abstract

Original article can be found at: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/00224073 Copyright Elsevier B.V. DOI: 10.1016/0083-6656(96)87012-7 [Full text of this article is not available in the UHRA]While the torus plays an obvious role in blocking direct light, and thus increasing the observed polarization from scattering, its role in directly producing polarized flux is less clear. Contributions to the infrared polarization from aligned grains within the torus are discussed.Peer reviewe
