Distances to Cataclysmic Variables using Linear Polarimetry
A model independent method is proposed for estimating the distances toCataclysmic Variables (CVs) using linear polarimetry. A polarizationversus distance relation is constructed by measuring the linearpolarization of field stars along the line of sight to the CV. Thedistance of the CV can be estimated by measuring its polarization and byassuming its intrinsic polarization is negligible in relation to theinterstellar polarization, an assumption that appears to be true in mostcases. We show that an accuracy of 6% is achievable by estimating thedistance to VW Hyi to be 82 +- 5 pc. Rough distance estimates of otherCVs with measured polarization are also given. (SECTION: Stars)
