Optical polarimetric observations of the microquasar LS 5039
We present the first optical polarimetric observations of the runaway microquasar LS 5039. Our results reveal the presence of a large amount (˜5%) of polarized emission towards this binary system. By combining polarimetric and spectroscopic observations of some stars in the field together with available statistical information on the galactic
