cds-question@unistra.frpolarimetrybe-starsinterstellar-mediumyoung-stellar-objectsWe present a study of the correlation between the direction of the symmetry axis of the circumstellar material around intermediate mass young stellar objects and that of the interstellar magnetic field. We use CCD polarimetric data on 100 Herbig Ae/Be stars. A large number of them show intrinsic polarization, which indicates that their circumstellar envelopes are not spherical. The interstellar magnetic field direction is estimated from the polarization of field stars. There is an alignment between the position angle of the Herbig Ae/Be star polarization and that of the field stars for the most polarized objects. This may be an evidence that the ambient interstellar magnetic field plays a role in shaping the circumstellar material around young stars of intermediate mass and/or in defining their angular momentum axis.2009ApJ...698.2031Rhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/698/2031CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/ApJ/653/657 : Spectroscopic observations of Herbig Ae/Be stars (Manoj+,J/AJ/129/856 : Herbig Ae/Be stars in nearby OB associations (Hernandez+,J/AJ/126/2971 : UBVRI photometry of 131 Herbig Ae/Be (Vieira+, 2003)J/A+AS/136/429 : Herbig Ae/Be stars candidates (Corporon+ 1999)J/AJ/118/1043 : Herbig Ae/Be stars catalog (Herbst+, 1999)J/AZh/73/194 : Circumstellar Disks of Ae/Be Herbig Stars (Grinin+ 1996)J/A+AS/111/399 : Polarization variability in Herbig Ae/Be stars (Jain+, 1995)J/A+AS/104/315 : Member of Herbig Ae/Be stellar group (The+ 1994)J/AJ/106/656 : Herbig Ae/Be stars (Brooke+, 1993)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/698/2031https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/698/2031http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/698/2031https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/698/2031https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/698/2031http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/698/2031GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/698/2031/table1 (Polarimetry of HAeBe objects)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/698/2031/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/698/2031/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/698/2031/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true19.4312742-52.55854530.0055555555555555566/463 852 1036 1113 14344 14440 21274 21285 21354 21418 21436 21439 21480 22080 22235 22860 22861 22873 22882 22892 22895 22981 23736 23795 23839 24139 24279 24281 28762 28921 29191 29193 29278 29452 29478 30188 30242 30243 30251 30363 30406 30419 30462 30632 31259 32065 34926 36956 37169 37186 37334 37353 37362 37366 37714 37746 37851 37871 37883 37886 37890 37916 37932 37934 37978 38032 39228 39259 39260 39290 39365 39883 41406 41472 41662 41669 41698 41734 41746 41767 41812 42217 42360 42382 42392 42455 42610 42611 42644 42931 42972 42988 43014 43052 43235 43444 44301 44356 44362https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/698/2031?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/ApJ/698/2031/table1Polarimetry of HAeBe objectsrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
