Scientific paper

Polarization measurements were made on 30 RS CVn systems using the Berger polarimeter of McDonald Observatory in July-December 1984, of which 26 systems were measured for the first time. The results show that for most RS CVn systems, the optical linear polarization is weak, generally below 0.45 percent, averaging about 0.20 percent. Some systems, like AR Lac, HR 5110, HD 8357, HK Lac, HR 7275, and HR 7428 have polarization above 0.03 percent, which showed time variations by factors between 10 and 30. For HD 8357 and ER Vul, there is a clear connection between the polarization and the orbital phase.
