Scientific paper

It has long been known that many AGNs show line and continuum polarization. This polarization contains valuable information about the geometry of emitting, absorbing, and scattering regions. We present results of Monte Carlo simulations of scattering around AGNs. We show how the polarization changes with viewing angles for various geometries and compare the results with observations.
