Abstract:
Optical linear polarization measurements of stars seen projected
towards CG 12, an intermediate latitude (b = 2P .1) starforming cloud, have
been made. The results show that the polarization vectors of the majority of
the stars seem to be oriented parallel to the tail of CG 12, implying that the
magnetic field in the cloud is parallel to' the tail. Spectroscopic observations
of each component of the double star Her 4636 show that only the northern
component has Ha in emission.
