Scientific paper

New observations with different instrumentation confirm the detection of circular polarization in three T Tauri stars reported earlier by Nadeau and Bastien (1986). Data on three other stars are also reported. In agreement with the recent interpretation of patterns of aligned vectors in linear polarization maps of young stellar objects in terms of multiple scattering in optically thick disks, the circular polarization in T Tauri stars is attributed to multiple scattering.
