Variable Polarization of WR 31a: Binary Companion or Corotating Interaction Region?

WR 31a (Hen 3-519) is likely a postluminous blue variable (LBV) star that is evolving to become a classical Wolf–Rayet star. Multicolor (UBVR) photopolarimetric observations of WR 31a were obtained over nine nights in early-2007. The linear polarization data of WR 31a trace a “loop” structure in a S...
