R Aquarii is a very interesting symbiotic system. There is an emission nebulosity close to the star which extends in North-South direction and a “jet” feature of about 6″ with a position angle of 29° has also been observed (Sopka et al. 1982; Mauron et al. 1985; Kafatos et al. 1983). Polarization measurements are important to understand the peculiar geometry of the circumstellar material around the central objects. Wavelength and time dependence of polarization can be used to put constraints on the geometry of the object and to identify the mechanism(s) responsible for polarization. In view of this linear polarization measurements of R Aquarii were carried out by us in UBVRI bands. Observations were made during November-December 1984 on 1 meter telescope of Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, with a dual channel photo polarimeter discussed elsewhere (Deshpande et al. 1985). Measured values of percent polarization and position angle at different phases alongwith the earlier observations of Serkowski (1974) and Ladbeck (1985) are plotted in Figure 1.
