Common continuum polarization properties: a possible link between proto-planetary nebulae and Type Ia Supernovae progenitors

Aleksandar Cikota, Ferdinando Patat, Stefan Cikota +2

The lines-of-sight to highly reddened SNe Ia show peculiar continuum polarization curves, growing toward blue wavelengths and peaking at ${\lambda }_{max}\lesssim 0.4\mu m$, like no other si…
