Scientific paper

Optical linear polarization measurements of eight galactic B(e) stars are presented. The data include UBVI and H-alpha filter observations which were performed with the 1.23-m telescope of the Calar Alto observatory in Spain. An intrinsic polarization component was present in five of the eight stars, suggesting that the circumstellar environments may have nonspherical geometries. Evidence for the two-component wind model of B(e) stars is presented.
