Bastien, P. ; Landstreet, J. D. Abstract Observations of the wavelength dependence of linear polarization of the T Tauri stars RY Tauri, T Tauri, and V866 Scorpii are presented. These observations show that most of the polarization of these stars arises in extended circumstellar dust envelopes which lie outside the high-temperature gas-emitting regions. The distribution of this matter around the stars has no fixed axis of symmetry, such as is usually found in Be stars. Strong variations in the wavelength dependence of polarization are observed, which suggest large variations in the grain size in the dust scattering regions.
