Scientific paper

An interpretation for the parameter k in Serkowski's (1971) normalization for linear polarization is given in relation to a changing-alignment model for interstellar grains. Present observations indicate that a correlation between k and dust size changes along the line of sight. Linear and circular polarization measurements seem to be consistent with an absorbing material for the polarizing component of the interstellar grains. Polarization position-angle observations are also analyzed.
