Scientific paper

The authors report the detection of circular polarization in R Mon and NGC 2261. This detection implies that the mechanism responsible for the linear and circular polarization is most likely multiple scattering in a flattended distribution. It replaces the previously suggested scenario where dichroic extinction by elongated dust grains aligned by a toroidal magnetic field was producing the polarization. The multiple scattering interpretation of linear polarization maps also means that these maps now provide direct evidence for a circumstellar disk around R Mon and possibly around many other young stellar objects.
