Scientific paper

Maps for the prediction of the polarization of light echo arcs are presented. It is noted that the results can be compared with observations in order to test the light-echo model of Katz (1987) and Milgrom (1987) and to determine its parameters. As long as the model assumptions of single scattering and planar geometry remain valid, the polarization is shown to be independent of the geometrical thickness and the optical depth of the dust layer. Cases such as the light source being in the plane of scatterers and arcs consisting of nearly forward scattered light are considered.
