Abstract
ABSTRACT Linear polarization measurements for four dwarf novae (SS Cyg, RX And, U Gem, and AH Her) and six nova-like variables (AE Aqr, V426 Oph, UX UMa, CI Cyg, EZ Peg, and TT Ari) are obtained to study variability associated with the outburst cycle. No polarization changes are apparent for SS Cyg or RX And throughout their outburst cycles, but an appreciable difference is noted for AE Aqr. RX And reveals evidence for variability on orbital time scales. All four systems studied at various wavelengths show an unusual wavelength dependence of the polarization.
