Scientific paper

Six spectropolarimetric observations of 32 Cyg were taken during its 1993 October eclipse. Two additional observations were made out of eclipse. They are the first reliable high-quality polarimetric observations of the system. The data were initially modelled assuming a spherical scattering region around the K giant only and then with an additional accretion disc around the B star. While both models poorly represented the data, it is evident that a scattering region in addition to the known extended atmosphere of the K giant is required in order to explain the observations. It is suggested that the system is in a state of mass transfer.
