Do any of you LPV observers practice the fine art of polarimetry? We have an AAVSO member who is also a professional astronomer, and is interested to know the answer. In particular, he is interested in the long period V CVn star in addition to polarimetry overall.

Hello Mike,
This recent paper might be of interest as an example of what is possible.

Many thanks, John!
This is indeed a very interesting paper! I'm going to forward the link to it to Steven Shore of the University of Pisa in Italy. Steve is an AAVSO member and a co-section leader for the Spectroscopy Section (I think...). He asked me recently if I knew anyone who did polarimetry and had observed V CVn.
