Scientific paper

The atmosphere of Brown Dwarfs become cool enough to allow dust particles to form as they age. There has been claims, for fast rotating brown dwarfs, that the dust could scatter light and produce a large linear polarisation. In order to verify that claim we present the linear polarimetric measurements of 9 late-M and L-type dwarfs obtained with the VLT in December 2001 and May 2002. The 5 brown dwarfs observed in December do not appear to have a detectable polarisation. Data reduction is under way for the remaining 4 object.
