Scientific paper

A more detailed and quantitative investigation of the expected linear polarization in a rotating star having an assigned distribution of magnetic regions on its surface is presented. Expected polarization diagrams for magnetic regions of varying latitudes and inclination angles are depicted, and the concept of stochastic mean is introduced for the linear polarization to be expected from a random distribution of magnetic regions in two activity belts equidistant from the stellar equator. The relevance of linear polarization observations as a diagnostic tool to deduce the magnetic configuration of the star is discussed in some detail.
