Abstract
Bow shocks around massive stars provide important information regarding the motion of the star, the stellar wind properties, and the density of the surrounding interstellar medium. We use a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code to investigate the polarization created when photons from a central star scatter from electrons or dust grains in a surrounding bow shock. We discuss the behavior of the polarization with respect to viewing angle as a function of parameters such as optical depth and scattering medium in both the resolved and unresolved cases.
