Optical polarization studies of nebulous stars in all stages of evolution show unexpected features which are attributed to the effects of circumstellar discs, possibly of solar system dimensions, and the authors discuss the various mechanisms which could account for these observations. They also present a simple scattering model to explain the polarization characteristics of the nebula surrounding the main-sequence star β Pictoris which suggests that the disc-like structure contains a population of dust grains which is not untypical of the general interstellar medium.
